All Things Missouri is a gateway to maps, data, reports, and resources to help better understand community needs and allocate resources

Through research, learning, engagement and economic development, the University of Missouri (MU) creates solutions that solve the grand challenges facing Missouri and the world.

Thanks to the fortitude and foresight of the people of Missouri, the University of Missouri, the first public university west of the Mississippi River, was born in 1839. As a comprehensive research university, we are privileged to extend our research, learning, engagement and economic development beyond our campus. 

At MU, excellence in engagement and outreach is characterized by: A climate that values each individual involved in the process. This is true for off-campus and on-campus efforts that, through engagement, seek active participation from or touch faculty, students, staff, alumni, donors, athletics supporters, stakeholders, public and private entities and communities. Effective outreach programs based on meaningful impact. Such programs are visible through campus-based initiatives, MU Extension and its county-based network, MU Health Care, MU Athletics and collaboratively through System-wide initiatives.
