Throughout our history, the University of Missouri-Rolla has developed a reputation for graduating leaders who have made their mark in the world. As discoverers, entrepreneurs, explorers and educators, UMR alumni have built the nation’s infrastructure, designed products and systems that have improved our quality of life, explored the inner world of atomic physics and the far reaches of space, and, in the words of one early graduate (R.L. Grabill, class of 1878) worked to “unravel the mysteries and solve the problems which nature lays before us.”
