What does Southeast Missouri State University mean to you?

SEMO was a wonderful place to go to school. I completely enjoyed my time studying history with colorful, involved, instructors like Dr. Sharp, Dr. Breeze, Dr. Bonwell and Dr. Joe Werne. The quality of education and enjoyment of living in Myers Hall stay with me.

The Foundation increases the studend population reached by SEMO and provides the tools to let that student population grow in stature

What personal experiences have you had with the students you have helped (who have been helped by the Foundation)?

My family and I have previously, though not in the recent past, received letters from the recipients of the scholarship we established. It was positive affirmation that the school was using the dollars we provided to fulfill the mission we endorse.
