UCM Update

Consistent with continuing efforts to make student and employee safety a top priority at the University of Central Missouri, the university is enhancing crosswalk safety through efforts to make designated crossings more visible to motorists who are traveling near campus.  These recent actions by university crews make it possible for drivers to know when a pedestrian crossing is approaching much faster than they have in the past.Aubrey Winn, a public relations major from Macon, and Tyler Shepard, an elementary education major from Sedalia, have been named the 2015 recipients of the University of Central Missouri’s prestigious Charno Award. The award is presented annually to the top male and female members of the senior class at UCM.
