Featured stories:
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Springfield Business Journal and KSDK spoke with the Missouri Institute of Mental Health’s Addiction Science Team at UMSL about its work to reduce opioid overdose deaths with prevention, research and programs. Now, it’s armed with an additional $6 million from state settlements with opioid manufacturers.
Outlets including KMOV, Springfield Business Journal, St. Louis American, St. Louis Public Radio and St. Louis Magazine covered the new partnership between St. Louis CITY SC and UMSL. Under the new agreement, the Major League Soccer club and the university will collaborate on esports programming and expand the school’s sports management curriculum.
St. Louis Public Radio profiled Steven Pursley, political science alumnus, who owns and operates the acclaimed ramen restaurant Menya Rui. After graduating from UMSL, Pursley spent three years in Japan, where his mother is from, working in ramen shops. Upon returning to St. Louis, he launched Ramen x Rui in 2018. The pop-up eventually led to the brick-and-mortar shop in Lindenwood Park.
