What does Southeast Missouri State University mean to you?

My late husband and I both graduated from SEMO. We owe our success as teachers to our alma mater and to beloved teachers like Helen Cleaver and Harold O. Grauel.

Why is it important to support students (at a time like this)?

People are struggling with the economy and the pandemic raging through the world. Students need financial help if they are to succeed.
