Gen. Thomas Ewing: Beyond Order No. 11
June 21 1:30 p.m. Research Center-Columbia
Many people best know Thomas Ewing as the general who issued General Order No. 11, a forced evacuation impacting four western Missouri counties in 1863. The famous George Caleb Bingham painting by the same name illustrates the repercussions of that edict. Guest lecturer Walter E. Busch, site administrator of the Fort Davidson State Historic Site, will discuss Ewing’s career in Missouri after Order No. 11, arguing that the controversial evacuation order has overshadowed the general’s important role in preserving Union control of Missouri in 1864.
Missouri and World War I Walk-Through
June 28 1:30 p.m. Corridor Gallery Research Center-Columbia
On this date 100 years ago, a single act ignited a chain of events that led to World War I. Join SHSMO in remembering the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria with a walk-through of a new exhibition. Missouri and World War I examines the Great War’s impact on Missourians’ daily lives through photographs and correspondence that provide firsthand accounts of their experiences, both on the home front and abroad.

In an effort to support the University’s continued sustainability efforts and to provide easy and secure access to pay advices, online pay advices were introduced within myHR in spring 2009.

Your Pay Advice is summary information detailing gross income, tax withholdings and deductions for a given pay period.
Our campus has been working toward paperless pay advices over the last five years. Many employees have already chosen that option. Currently, all students receive their pay advice electronically.
The next step in going totally paperless for pay advices involves converting all MU and Extension employees to the online delivery option for pay advices. This change will take place with the last pay period in June.
