Dear Alumni and Friends,

I personally invite you to join Millikin on a journey that will transform the university and solidify its position as one of the most distinctive higher educational experiences in the Midwest.

Millikin has a proud, rich heritage of transforming students into leaders within their fields with its innovative approach to education. It began with founder James Millikin, who pioneered the idea of combining theory and practice.

Today, our students are taught to perform the skills needed for their specific area of study, giving rise to graduates who leave here filled with the confidence to succeed in a world where the only certainty is that change will come.

Our number one priority is to help our students achieve at a higher level. To facilitate that, we must continue to transform our campus and its offerings.

I invite you to join me in embracing the spirit of renewal and enrichment that is the core of this initiative. By doing so, we can ensure that Millikin is recognized as one of the top universities in the Midwest. I am confident we can reach this goal together.

Let’s make the living and learning experiences even more rewarding for Millikin students. Together, we can Transform MU.

Acting President Rich Dunsworth
