The University of Missouri–St. Louis makes a significant impact on the St. Louis area. Stories about the university, its scholars and their expertise are often covered by local and national news media.

Featured stories:
KCUR and St. Louis Public Radio tapped Anita Manion, assistant professor of political science, to comment on Missouri’s extension of Medicaid postpartum benefits to new mothers. Manion said this has long been an issue that Democrats have expressed concerns over, and that Republicans in Missouri are following a national trend on reframing what it means to support families. She also noted passing these policies could be motivated by political parties wanting to capture the vote of suburban women.
The St. Louis American featured Eboni Sterling, a three-time graduate of the UMSL College of Education, who was named the new director of research and evaluation at Area Resources for Community and Human Services (ARCHS). The organization funds and strategically enhances initiatives that improve the lives of children and families facing disparities and disadvantages in St. Louis’ most resource-deprived communities.
Outlets such as the Tennessee Tribune and Because of Them We Can covered Maria Ellis, a music education alumna, and her debut at Carnegie Hall. The choral conductor travels all across the country performing and teaching students. She focuses on making education accessible, hoping to help Black youth, especially young Black girls, learn to read music, where previously they’ve only learned music foundation by ear.
