CAFNR True Tigers hosted their first meeting ever Sept. 14 at the Mizzou Student Center. This student group is made up of CAFNR students who are or become members of the Mizzou Alumni Association. Thirty-eight students attended the first meeting. Organizers hope the group will foster Mizzou pride and involvement while students are still on campus, rather than waiting until after graduation.
