UMSL's 'Happy' video featured on KTVI - UMSL Daily

Each season has one – that trending song that people parody through video, and it takes over the web. Right now it’s “Happy” by Pharrell Williams, and the University of Missouri–St. Louis has created its own version of the video for the song.

Magan Green, director of new student programs at UMSL, and Kelly Heissler, program coordinator of orientation and transition programs at UMSL, gathered several UMSL students and staff members to help them make this video. After posting it to Twitter on Thursday, KTVI (Channel 2) featured it on a morning segment Friday.
