MISSION AND VISION
Experience the Humanities
Simply put, the humanities is the study of how people connect to the human experience through history, culture, and traditions.
The Humanities allow us to explore stories from people who came before us, appreciate places that have changed with time, and learn from past ways of thinking in order to form a brighter future for generations to come.
WHAT WE DO
Working with national and local institutions and organizations to promote public dialogue through panel discussions, open Q&A’s, and interactive events.
Partnering with organizations to provide veterans and their families with an outlet for self-expression through writing.
Bringing awareness and commemorating our state’s local literature through expanding literary education for all Missourians.
Exploring our rich cultural heritage and historical significance with community events, workshops, and scholarly presentations.
