About the University The University of Missouri–St. Louis
We transform lives.
Much like our graduates, the University of Missouri–St. Louis is also a success story.
As the metropolitan, land-grant, research institution serving the most diverse and economically important region in Missouri, the University of Missouri–St. Louis delivers exceptional educational, research and engagement experiences that inform, prepare, challenge and inspire.
As the largest public research university in Missouri’s most populous and economically important region, the University of Missouri–St. Louis provides excellent learning experiences and leadership opportunities to a diverse student body whose influence upon graduation is immense. No other university brings more to bear on the advancement of St. Louis than UMSL – which is fitting for a campus created just for that purpose. In 1963, the university opened on the grounds of a closed golf course in Normandy, Missouri, out of a need to bring affordable, public education to the region. It had one building, a modest faculty and fewer than 700 students. Today, UMSL is spread across 450 acres of rolling hills in suburban St. Louis County and enrolls nearly 15,000 students. While UMSL’s more than 108,000 graduates are located in all 50 states and nearly 100 countries around the world, their greatest impact is felt right here in St. Louis where more than 75,000 alumni live, work and thrive in the region.
UMSL is a Tier 1 research university – one of four in Missouri – and ranks No. 118 nationally among all public universities. Last year, UMSL was included in U.S. News & World Report’s inaugural “Top Performers for Social Mobility” rankings which measures how well universities educate and graduate Pell Grant eligible students. UMSL remains among the nation’s top performers in this area in this year’s annual rankings. The university is also a a five-time recipient of the Higher Education Excellence in Diversity Award from Insights into Diversity magazine – the only Missouri university to earn this prestigious recognition repeatedly. Forbes Magazine has even named UMSL one of ‘America’s Best Colleges.’ For nearly 60 years, the University of Missouri–St. Louis has been a beacon of hope, a force for good and a leader in the pursuit of excellence in education, meaningful research and community service. As this mission continues into the future, everyone at UMSL remains committed to providing much more than exceptional educational experiences.
Academic excellence. UMSL’s fundamental purpose is to educate and graduate diverse students as they seek different and better lives. Our academic programs emphasize student growth through research, internship opportunities, and one-on-one attention. Our eight colleges and schools, as well as our joint engineering partnership, are anchored by our award-winning faculty and nationally-ranked programs, offering each student a high quality, invaluable and diverse educational opportunity.

About Commencement Banners In addition to the coloring presented in the academic attire, each college is also represented on the university’s commencement banners. The side panels of the banners are red and gold, the colors of the University of Missouri–St. Louis. The color of the center section, which bears the seal of the university, represents the academic college.
Student Government Association (SGA) Representative A student in a leadership position within the campus SGA program who leads the Platform Party in the academic procession.
Candidates The commencement program is a roster of candidates from the Office of the Registrar, not an official list of graduates. The appropriate degrees and honors will be awarded to candidates who have successfully completed all requirements by the date of commencement. Commencement is the ceremony to celebrate a true milestone in each candidate’s life and those of their guests. Excitement, joy and enthusiasm is expected and welcomed!
Degrees with Distinction A degree with distinction in research (RCH), scholarship (SCH) or creativity in the arts (ART) is an honor that recognizes a student for outstanding accomplishments in research and/or other creative endeavors. To graduate with a degree of distinction, students must have obtained 75 credit hours, a minimum 3.5 GPA, a faculty mentor, and have begun research, scholarship or creative endeavors of exceptional quality.
Latin Honors High scholastic achievement for underguate degree candidates is indicated by Latin honors. To graduate with Latin honors, students must have attended UMSL for 56 graded hours and must meet the GPA qualifications listed below.
The Seal of the University of Missouri The seal was adopted March 31, 1903. The straight perpendicular lines on the printed shield denote courage. The grizzly bear of Missouri is walking leisurely with face turned toward the observer. A new moon is outlined in blue, and in the lower right corner appears the arms of the United States of America. Appearing on an open book is the motto of the university, Salus Populi, The Welfare of the People. Sigill Universitatis Missourien MDCCCXXXIX means the seal of the University of Missouri 1839, the year the university was established as the first state university west of the Mississippi River. The seal can be seen on the UM System flag located on the stage, to the right of the American flag.

Akeem Shannon founder and chief executive officer of Flipstick
26
Shannon appeared on a November 2020 episode of ABC’s “Shark Tank” and struck a deal with investor Lori Greiner. While the
show provided a propellant for Flipstik, Shannon says connections the startup has forged in St. Louis’ entrepreneurship ecosystem are what have positioned it for long-term success. Following its “Shark Tank’’ appearance, Flipstik won a $50,000 grant from local nonprofit Arch Grants and another $50,000 in equity-free funding through its participation in the inaugural cohort of UMSL’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Accelerator. Now, thanks to support from UMSL Accelerate, Flipstik will be available in major retailers starting 2022.

UMSL Alma Mater
Heart of Missouri (Words and Music by John Francis Dill and Diane Ceccarini)
Rising high between two rivers history yet to tell, Stands an honored Alma Mater, our UMSL. Came to seek more understanding for my life to be. Found my need for knowledge answered gratefully by thee. Dreaming dreams about tomorrow, as I've learned today. Now this heart deep in Missouri seeks a better way. When at last my journey's over may its value be, That it honors state and nation but above all, thee.
