Each Spring and Fall, the department selects an alumni to profile in The Bridge newsletter. Once the newsletter is published, the artticles are also featured here on this web page.

Our current feature is Robert Elgin. Read his story " Getting off the family farm" that unveils the obstacles he went through to get to UMR during the Great Depression. His story reflects on the life of being a civil engineering student at UMR in the 1930s.
