First-generation student Kassidy Dalton arrived at the Robert J. Trulaske, Sr. Trulaske College of Business four years ago from Stockton, a small town in southwest Missouri. A bit on the shy side in large crowds, Dalton – a self-confessed math and science nerd – was concerned about socializing and being herself in such a big world. But thanks to her involvement with the Heartland Scholars Academy and the Mizzou Disc Golf Club, Dalton found her people and her voice, and was soon creating opportunities of her own.

Evan Brage arrived at the Robert J. Trulakse, Sr. College of Business with an open mind. While he had an interest in statistics and solving problems, it was courses through the college’s Finance Department that truly captured his imagination and pointed him in a direction he hadn’t imagined for himself before arriving on campus.
