Featured stories:
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch talked to Jessica Hylton, director of internationalization strategies and international student and scholar services, as well as students Celina Holmes and Kevvin Brown – both members of a cohort of students from The Bahamas who came to UMSL in August – for a story highlighting international students returning to St. Louis after a period of declining international enrollment because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The St. Louis American profiled Darren Young and Charlene Lopez-Young, co-founders of The Fattened Caf, a smoked meats and Filipino BBQ pop-up restaurant and members of the UMSL’s first Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Accelerator. The couple discussed their fist pop-up restaurant Milque Toast, adjusting to the COVID-19 pandemic and how they worked to grow their second business endeavor.
