University of Missouri President Gary Forsee will spend most of Monday, February 25, visiting the campus of the University of Missouri-St. Louis. President Forsee has a series of one-on-one meetings planned during the day with leaders of various stakeholder groups at UMSL, including students, faculty and staff members. This is one of a series of day-long visits to UM campuses planned during the coming weeks by President Forsee, who assumed office as the UM System's 22nd President on Monday, February 18.
President Forsee will be available to the news media from 4 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. in Room 315 of the Millennium Student Center. News media are also welcome to attend UMSL's public welcoming reception for President Forsee from noon-1 p.m. in Century rooms A, B and C at the Millennium Student Center. However, the public reception is intended to allow President Forsee to visit with as many UMSL stakeholders as possible, so he will not be available for interviews during the reception because of the limited timetable.
