7 scenes from UMSL Day

Nearly 1,000 people visited the University of Missouri–St. Louis on March 15 for the Spring 2014 UMSL Day. More than 540 prospective students registered for the event and more than 50 completed applications. The biannual event gives prospective students and their families the opportunity to tour the university’s 350-acre campus, talk with faculty members and attend information sessions on admissions and financial aid.
