U. of Missouri at Columbia Reaches $1-Billion Campaign Goal

Officials at the University of Missouri at Columbia plans to announce that the school has met its $1-billion fund-raising goal, making it one of a couple of dozen public universities around the country to reach that mark, reports the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Two gifts in recent weeks, including $4.6-million from Robert and Sue Weiser to the geology department and $2-million from Harry and Ann Cornell to the business school, helped the university reach its goal.
