Congratulations Tipparat!
Tipparat Udmuangpia, who works at the Health Sciences Library, was chosen as the Doctor marshal for the Fall Commencement Ceremony on December 13th. She was selected based on her academic performance and her contributions to MU and the campus community through her leadership, volunteerism, and mentorship.
It’s been an absolute treat to have Tipparat in our library. Congratulations, Tipparat!

Still Time to Support United Way
While the active period of the Mizzou Heart of United Way Campaign has come to an end, there is still time to join the campaign! So far we have raised nearly $300,000 and we still hope to hit our goal of $400,000 by the end of the year.
For those hoping to give through payroll deduction, those pledges can be made at unitedway.missouri.edu until Dec. 15.
Join the Columbia community at Level Up Entertainment (in the Columbia Mall) on November 21. From 5-9 p.m. 50% of ALL REVENUE at Level Up will benefit United Way. Great way to support the community while having a fun night with your family.
Every additional person that we mobilize, every extra dollar that is donated, helps address critical needs in our community.
If you haven’t already given, please consider making a pledge for long-term impact in our community. You can make an electronic pledge at unitedway.missouri.edu.
If you have any questions about Heart of Missouri United Way or making a gift, please contact me.
Thanks for your support and your commitment to the community.

RJI and University Libraries Receive Mellon Grant
The Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute (RJI) and University of Missouri Libraries received a $250,000 grant this fall from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to help ensure the survival of today’s digital news record for future generations.
During a yearlong project, a team from the Journalism Digital News Archive, a joint initiative of RJI and University Libraries, plans to visit news outlets across the U.S. and Europe. Edward McCain, digital curator of journalism at RJI and the University Libraries, said that during these visits, the team will identify what’s hampering the process of preserving online content by examining the outlets’ technology, workflows and policies.
This project builds on work done during the Journalism Digital News Archive’s five Dodging the Memory Hole conferences, which brought together librarians, memory institutions, newsroom leaders and others between 2014 and 2017 to have conversations about how to preserve and protect “the first rough draft of history.”
