- We had a total of 45 vendors *27 vendors were student organizations *18 vendors who were community or outside vendors (selling mostly crafts). Local businesses donated $7,000 for the event The Rolla Downtown Merchants sponsored a two-week “Scavenger Hunt” to encourage both traffic for their businesses and attendance of our event. International students from Missouri S&T visited about 55 classrooms in the Rolla community. Area school children learned about many countries and received a Passport. They brought their Passport to the event so that they could receive “stamps” from the booths at the event. Students who participated in this activity received a Certificate of Global Ambassador before they left the event. About 85 flags were carried in this year’s parade. Missouri S&T has students from 76 different countries. In addition, people from the community are encouraged to request a flag for their country. More than 1000 people at this event.
- MU is advancing Missouri’s culture throughthe artistic expression, scholarly pursuits , education and public outreach. Today I will highlight a few brief examples to show you the depth and breadth of Mizzou’s reach.You saw Curator Erdman’s report about MU’s Museum of Art and Archaeology. Because the museum is among an elite groups of accredited museums, faculty and staff often perform service at the national level. Director Alex Barker is part of a panel that reviews awards for the National Endowment for the Humanities, is a member of the Board of Directors for the Society of American Archaeology and serves on the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Review Committee, a federal advisory group appointed by the Secretary of the Interior.MU’s Museum of Anthropology is one of the few in the Midwest and the only anthropology museum in Missouri. It has 80 million artifacts and the world’s largest and most comprehensive archery collection (called the Grayson Archery Collection). More than 5,000 people visit the museum annually.Photo notes:The photo at left features a bust by Beulah Ecton Woodard—an important African-American artist, and the background canvas is by Grace Hartigan, an abstract expressionist painter who was the only woman included in the legendary The New American Painting show at the Museum of Modern Art.The middle photo features the Jaguar Gorget, an engraved ornamental shell found in Benton County, Mo. (250 B.C. – A.D. 450). At right is the Lilbourn Mace found in New Madrid County (A.D. 1200-1400).
- MU has agreed to lease and manage Columbia’s historic Missouri Theatre on Ninth Street near the Journalism School from the Missouri Symphony Society with an option to purchase after three years. (MU is paying $12,000 per month from the campus rental account.)Mizzou will use the theatre for School of Music events, some University Concert Series events, the Missouri Students Association, commencements, Summer Welcome, Greek Week and more.In the past 10 years, the number of events in Jesse Auditorium has increased from around 70 to 230 annually; we can no longer meet the increasing demand for its use. The Missouri Theatre offers a venue that is both attractive and versatile.Because of increased wear and tear, we also recently reupholstered and rebuilt all of the seats in Jesse Auditorium so that we could maintain our seating capacity. (New seats are wider, and to replace them all, would have resulted in losing around 200 total capacity). The $1 million renovation, which also included painting , new baseboard trim in lobbies, carpet, safety lighting along the aisles and new overhead lighting, was covered through maintenance funds and revenue from ticket sales. The Student Fee Capital Improvement Committee funded a new curtain for the stage ($8700).Challenges: Although we lack state funding, MU has been as proactive as possible in using space creatively and renovating several core academic buildings — all critical to a quality education. Because we are leasing the Missouri Theatre, there is no longer an immediate need for a Performing Arts Center. However, a new School of Music facility in close proximity to the Missouri Theatre continues to be our second priority for capital appropriations. This facility would provide much-needed classrooms, studios and rehearsal spaces. The School of Music currently is housed in eight different locations, including the Fine Arts Building, where the art and theatre departments also reside. The new School of Music would allow for collaborative creative endeavors in one location and would free up space in the Fine Arts Building to be renovated for consolidation of the remaining occupants in updated facilities.
- As you can see, MU’s School of Music advances Missouri’s culture by reaching more than 2,000 MU students each semester, playing more than 150 free concerts annually and by hosting festivals, camps and other K-12 programs each year.Our music education doctoral degree is accredited through the National Association of Schools of Music and produces graduates who serve as principals, superintendents, professional organization leaders (Missouri Music Educators Association, etc.) and college faculty working around the world. MU also has produced many collegiate champions of the Music Teachers National Association. This year, Matheus Souza (pronounced ma-TAY-oos SOO-zuh) placed third nationally in the string division of the association’s annual competition.
- The Mizzou New Music Initiativebrings together a diverse array of programs intended to position MU as a leading center in the areas of composition and new music. The Initiative is funded by Jeanne and Rex Sinquefield and the Sinquefield Charitable Foundation, with their contributions totaling more than $1.1 million. MU’s School of Music is making a significant impact throughout Missouri with the Creating Original Music Project. COMP is an incubator for new music and composers and consists of three programs: an annual competition for MU student composers, an annual competition for K-12 composers throughout Missouri and a summer camp for high school students.This past year we had more than 100 COMP entrants from 55 different MO schools.Due to demand, we expanded the 2011 summer COMP camp to include both advanced and intermediate classes.The Mizzou New Music Summer Festival has attracted more than 100 applications from around the world each of its first two years (2010 and 2011) for eight resident composer spots that are part of the week-long event.
- Mizzou has many successful graduates in the performing arts.Grammy-nominated Caroline Worra, MM ’93, and Ryan MacPherson, BES ’98, once shared an MU stage during a student performance of The Mikado in 1993. Years later, the soprano and tenor share similar opera careers and sing leading roles with prestigious companies.In January, Worra and MacPherson will perform two lead roles in the Opera Memphis production of Strauss's comic operetta Die Fledermaus to be performed on Jan. 21 and 24.Both stars have sung numerous operatic roles in world and American productions with prestigious opera companies, including the New York City Opera.
- J. Brett Grill, assistant professor and director of graduate studies for the Art Department, unveiled his 7-foot bronze statue of President Gerald R. Ford at the U.S. Capitol rotunda in May. He’s an example of the caliber of MU’s faculty in the arts and humanities.
- Students and faculty from the Department of Theatre returned from the Region V Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival (KCACTF) in January boasting numerous achievements. MU scored top-rankings in playwriting, dramaturgy and theatre criticism, as well as regional recognition in acting, directing and design. Doctoral student Matt Fotiswon the 2010-11 Mark Twain Prize for Comic Playwriting, the KCACTF award that honors the nation’s best student-written, full-length comic script. David Crespy, associate professor of playwriting, won the Gold Medallion — a national honor that recognizes those who have made extraordinary contributions to the teaching and producing of theater and to the development and quality of KCACTF. Only a small number of research universities are able to offer a doctoral degree in theatre. MU not only offers a PhD in theatre, but has a highly regarded program, finishing in the top half of all American universities in the National Research Council's data-based assessment of doctoral programs in 2010. The NRC assigned a "range of possible rankings" rather than an absolute ranking: The MU Theatre department's range is nearly identical with other top Public AAU universities, including UC-Berkeley and UCLA, and tops other strong universities, including the universities of Texas and Minnesota (wording suggested by George Justice).Note: MU’s Theatre Department ranked between 7 and 21 in 2011 (depending on the category—quality, research productivity, student outcomes, student resources and diversity). George Justice says that this is lower than the original rankings that came out in Sept. 2010 when MU ranked between 5 and 19.
- The Missouri Review is a nationally acclaimed literary magazine with a reputation for discovering new writers. It also provides hands-on publishing experience for about 30 students each semester.In 2010 The Missouri Review launched a digital and all-audio version of the magazine available for subscribers, making it the first literary magazine to be available in three formats. The journal also is available in more than 2,000 libraries worldwide, and its website receives almost one million hits a month.The 2010 Jeffrey E. Smith Editors’ Prize Contest received a record-breaking 3,000 submissions. Through the generous donation of Jeffrey E. Smith, we are able to pay $5,000 to winners in each genre—fiction, poetry and essay. It is one of the most prestigious contests of its kind in the nation.BackgroundNote: Writers whose work first appeared in The Missouri Review continue to win major prizes, including the National Book Award, the Yale Younger Poets Award and the Pulitzer Prize. Additionally, the magazine has featured previously unpublished work by literary giants of the past, including Mark Twain, Tennessee Williams, Marianne Moore, Charlotte Bronte, Jack Kerouac and William Faulkner.MU’s creative writing program is nationally recognized and has produced winners of many top writing awards.
- Since its inception in 2003, the MU interactive theatre program has presented about 300 performances for audiences of all sizes. In interactive theatre, audience members become performers, which allows them to explore controversial topics in a “safe space.” Student actors in the troupe learn about diversity issues and feel empowered to make a difference. “Interactive theatre has been a key component of MU’s Ford Foundation Difficult Dialogues grant and National Science Foundation grant for the advancement of faculty women in the STEM fields.This year, the program received a Susan G. Komen grant to work with the School of Medicine on performances dealing with breast cancer and a Mizzou Advantage grant to develop a script on body image, media and food.
- MU is bringing the arts into health care to help create a positive environment for healing.For example, theartwork of 30 Children’s Hospital patients is displayed permanently in the hospital’s main hallway.David Saar wrote a play called “The Yellow Boat” as a way to celebrate his son’s life. Born with congenital hemophilia, Benjamin Saar contracted HIV through a blood transfusion. He lost his battle with AIDS at the age of 8. A gifted artist, Benjamin channeled his physical and emotional pain into colorful and imaginative drawings. Dawn Sees, an MU graduate student in theCollege of Education, shared “The Yellow Boat”with Children’s Hospital patients.After hearing the story, the children created small quiltsquares expressing what made them happy, and Sees sewed the squares into a quilt.The Yellow Boat Quilt serves as an example of how powerful art can be in the healingand recovery of patients.The field of medicine is often described as part science, part art. And I’m proud to say that MU excels in this area. Dr. Michael LeFevre, Future of Family Medicine Professor and Vice Chair of the Department of Family and Community Medicine in the School of Medicine, was elected as a member of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies. Election to the IOM is considered one of the highest honors in the fields of health and medicine and recognizes individuals who have demonstrated outstanding professional achievement and commitment to service.
- Students in MU’s Department of Architectural Studies develop design concepts for actual clients, including the ones listed here.A year ago in the Jesse Hall rotunda, we unveiled a new home for one of MU’s great historic treasures — the original cornerstone from our first building, Academic Hall, which burned down in 1892 leaving only the Columns. Architectural Studies student Shawn Browning, right, designed the cornerstone’s permanent educational display, helping us preserve it for future generations.
- Tim Shaugnessy of IBM specifically mentioned arts and cultural events as a factor in the decision to open a technology service center in Columbia. And the University Concert Series is one of the primary reasons the arts thrive in Mid Missouri.The arts are an investment and a revenue generator. Annually the Concert Series brings in groups of performing artists that rent nearly 1,000 hotel rooms, pay sales tax, eat at local restaurants, shop and fill hundreds of trucks and busses with gas. And, that’s just the performers. Nearly 75,000 people from 29 different states and 70 Missouri counties attended events. Many of those patrons also stayed in hotels, ate in local restaurants and bought souvenirs. Based upon the Economic Prosperity Survey from the Missouri Arts Council, the Concert Series supports the equivalent of 77 full-time jobs in (not including direct staff, but jobs in industries that benefit from the events), provides nearly $65,000 in local sales tax and more than $2 million in local business revenue.
