PLEASE NOTE: If you were registered for the Sept. 7 photo session that was cancelled, you are automatically added to the Oct. 20 session.

As we move forward with updates for CAFNR’s web redesign, we encourage you to update your professional headshot, if you have not done so in the last five years. CAFNR has reserved space at the Rock Quarry Center (view the map) to have professional portraits taken of faculty, staff and graduate students.

Parking is available. Directions: To get to the parking lot, take Rock Quarry Rd. south from Stadium Blvd., then take the first left onto Capen Park Dr. Next make two additional quick lefts and head toward the north end of the building, (Rock Quarry Center is a large, white-gray warehouse-style building). Enter through Door 4 and the MU Extension Communications and Marketing office is the first door on the right. Please contact Reagan Brown, reagan.brown@missouri.edu, for any questions.
