Inge Contributes to Research Project About Midwest Suffragists
Mara Inge is working on a project documenting the many suffragists in the Midwest who took part in getting women the vote. Her first submission of a Kansas suffragist named Effie Graham was published to the database recently. The research has been a challenge because these were women in a time where news was very male oriented and most of them really weren’t famous. She is currently working with Tammie Busch who is the coordinator for the Missouri project on a Missouri suffragist.

Mizzou Supports the United Way
Our community partner, Heart of Missouri United Way, seeks to empower children, families, individuals and seniors in times of need. They do this by funding 42 programs at 31 different non-profit organizations. Last year, our campaign raised $436,925 for the campaign. 99 cents of every dollar donated stayed in mid-Missouri to support health, financial stability, education and basic needs services that benefit our local community.
Heart of Missouri United Way responds immediately in disaster. When the pandemic started, they identified emergent needs and provided critical support. So far, they have contributed $2 million in community investments that will help meet the growing need facing our community.
Contact Shannon Cary at carsyn@missouri if you have any questions.
