“Mackenzie is supportive and offers such wonderful advice and words of wisdom to students. She has been very intentional about providing insights from many different perspectives including bringing in faculty to talk about emphasis areas, having the Office of Financial Success speak on creating and managing a budget and infusing all aspects of career development throughout the semester.” – Kim Hedges, Senior Career Specialist and Business FIG Co-Facilitator

Being a Peer Learning Advisor (PLA) has been a highlight of my Mizzou experience…. I have grown so much in my teaching and leadership skills. Receiving the FIG Excellence in Leadership Award motivated me to apply to be a PLA for both business and first-generation college students. My upbringing as a first-gen student from a rural community helps me connect with freshmen, and it is a privilege to have an impact on first-gen students.
