The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching has announced that the University of Missouri is one of 173 institutions, which make up less than 5 percent of colleges and universities nationwide, to be classified as a Community-Engaged Campus. The classification is reserved for institutions in which students and faculty engage in mutually beneficial collaborations with members of the communities in which they're located.
