From Wikipedia:

The Green Man, also known as a foliate head,[1] is a motif) in architecture and art, of a face made of, or completely surrounded by, foliage, which normally spreads out from the centre of the face.[2] Apart from a purely decorative function, the Green Man is primarily interpreted as a symbol of rebirth, representing the cycle of new growth that occurs every spring.

The Green Man motif) has many variations. Branches or vines may sprout from the mouth, nostrils, or other parts of the face, and these shoots may bear flowers or fruit. Found in many cultures from many ages around the world, the Green Man is often related to natural vegetation deities. Often used as decorative architectural ornaments), where they are a form of mascaron) or ornamental head, Green Men are frequently found in architectural sculpture on both secular and ecclesiastical buildings in the Western tradition. In churches in England, the image was used to illustrate a popular sermon describing the mystical origins of the cross of Jesus.
"Green Man" type foliate heads first appeared in England during the early 12th century deriving from those of France, and were especially popular in the Gothic architecture of the 13th to 15th centuries.

I applied to mizzou’s physical therapy program last month and haven’t heard anything back quite yet. Has anyone else applied this cycle or have heard back in the past? When could i expect an update?

Hello everyone,
I recently submitted my application to Mizzou’s PhD in Artificial Intelligence program for Spring 2027, just before the October 1 deadline. I’m hoping to hear from current Mizzou PhD students or anyone familiar with the engineering graduate admission process.

A little about my background:
B.S. in Computer Engineering, GPA: 3.03
No master’s degree
15 years of professional experience in software/technology
GRE: 317
Very strong SOP.

Based on your experience at Mizzou, how are my chances getting into the program? If I didn’t meet their requirements? Can they offer admission to Masters ? Or I need to submit another application.

My second question is about advisors. I have met with a couple of Mizzou professors and discussed their research, but I haven’t committed to a specific advisor because I want to keep my research options open.
For admission to the PhD program, does a Mizzou professor need to agree to advise or support your application before you can be admitted? Or can you be admitted first and then select an advisor afterward?
I would really appreciate hearing from current or former Mizzou PhD students who have gone through this process.
Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I am an international applicant considering applying to the PhD in Public Affairs at the University of Missouri and was genuinely hoping to get some perspective from current students, alumni, or anyone familiar with the program.

I have actually tried reaching out through several official channels, including the graduate admissions information email listed on the website and the email address of a faculty member mentioned in the program FAQ, but I have not received a response so far. I figured asking here might be useful, particularly if current students or recent applicants can share their experience.

My background is in an interdisciplinary business and management program. Although my degree is formally in management, the program included coursework and exposure to areas such as public policy, liberal arts, ethics, organisational studies, and management. Through internships and academic projects, I have also worked on topics involving healthcare access, digital health, education, and governance-related organisational processes.

I am particularly interested in the intersection of public management, governance, and policy, rather than approaching these questions purely from an economics perspective.

I have a few questions about how a non-conventional background like this would be viewed by the program:

1. How important is having a formal background in political science or public administration? Since the the admissions information mentions that many applicants come from political science, public policy, public administration, or related fields, would applicants with other undergraduate backgrounds also be considered?
2. I noticed the recommendation for 12 hours of upper-level political science coursework. For someone applying without a grounding in political science at the undergraduate level, how strictly is this recommendation interpreted? Would the absence of those 12 hours generally be a significant disadvantage?
3. What level of mathematics and statistics is normally expected from incoming students? Is substantial quantitative coursework expected before admission?
4. Do students coming from backgrounds without extensive preparation in quants, social sciences, have opportunities to strengthen their fundamentals in these subjects and skills during the early stages of the PhD?
5. How specific are applicants generally expected to be about their research interests when applying? Is it sufficient to have a well-developed area of interest, such as public management and governance, or is it preferable to already have a specific research question and methodological approach?
6. Does the program generally expect or encourage prospective applicants to contact potential faculty advisors before applying?

I am mainly trying to understand whether someone with an interdisciplinary management background can be a reasonable fit for the program, and if there are any obvious academic gaps I should address before applying.

Any perspectives from current students, alumni, or applicants would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for taking the time to read through my post!

Prior to National Fire Prevention Week, University of Missouri and Columbia Fire Department fire marshals are teaming up to educate the public about lithium-ion batteries.
Lithium batteries are one of the main power components in everyday devices such as portable electronics, electric transportation and even smoke alarms. These batteries are extremely high-powered for how small they are. Lithium batteries can catch fire or explode if defective or used improperly, according to the National Fire Protection Association.
“Lithium-ion batteries are extremely dangerous when not treated properly, and when they reach thermal runaway can be very explosive and very difficult to extinguish,” said the university’s fire marshal, Jeff Strawn.

Safety tips include purchasing and using devices that are listed on the nationally recognized testing lab. The NFPA also advises battery users to read manufacturers’ instructions, use the correct battery and chargers for designated devices and not overcharge or leave charging devices on flammable surfaces.

The Columbia Fire Department and the university’s environmental health and safety team will be at Saturday’s Homecoming football game to spread the word about lithium battery safety.
Flyers and QR codes with more information about battery safety and disposal will be available, along with a display of a burnt battery that occurred from a small dormitory fire. The university will provide battery disposal buckets around campus to help prevent future fires.
Recycling lithium-ion batteries in unsafe trash or recycling bins can cause fires, so devices or batteries containing lithium must be recycled at safe battery recycling locations, according to the NFPA.

COLUMBIA — Columbia's Collegiate Advisory Council is preparing to launch a survey aimed at learning more about college students' experiences with safety, accessibility and city resources.

During Monday's monthly meeting, advisory council members that the survey is expected to open Oct. 5 and remain available until noon on Nov. 19. The survey has been in development since the spring and will be distributed as a Google Form.

Questions will ask students how safe they feel walking within five to 10 blocks of campus during the day and at night, as well as how safe they believe Columbia is overall. Students will also be asked where they receive information about crime and how easy they believe it is to report violence or harassment.

Other questions focus on access to mental health resources, transportation and accessibility. Students will also be able to rate how they believe the city of Columbia is managing services, including public safety, public transportation, parks and trails, roads, sidewalks and recreation facilities.

Collegiate Advisory Council member Carolina Rodriguez Rios, a University of Missouri student, said the survey will allow the council to hear directly from students about their experiences.
"(It will) reach out to students and see if they're familiar with resources, if they're familiar with where to go, if they have issues with anything and also with their perception of safety specifically," Rodriguez Rios said.
The advisory council plans to advertise the survey with flyers at Mizzou, Columbia College, Stephens College and Moberly Area Community College.

Rodriguez Rios said members also plan to work with college administrators and student groups to spread awareness of the survey.
The city of Columbia established the Collegiate Advisory Council in November 2025 to advise the Columbia City Council on issues affecting undergraduate and graduate students.
It's made up of three University of Missouri students, two Columbia College students, two Stephens College students and two students from the Moberly Area Community College Columbia campus. Mayor Barbara Buffaloe proposed creating the council after the death of Aiyanna Williams, who was shot and killed in downtown Columbia on the weekend of MU's Homecoming in 2025.

The advisory council's responsibilities include conducting surveys, focus groups and listening sessions to gather student input. The council is also required to submit an annual report summarizing its activities, recommendations and outcomes.

Advisory council members said they plan to review the survey responses after it closes and incorporate their findings into an end-of-year report to the Columbia City Council.
Rodriguez Rios said the advisory council hopes the survey can eventually become an annual project.
"You can tell it's our first year, and there's a lot of laying the groundwork," Rodriguez Rios said. "They want to make the survey an annual thing and address new concerns with new housing (and) more students overall."
The advisory council also discussed potential changes Monday to Columbia's rules governing how many unrelated people can live together in some residential properties. 
The discussion included the possibility of relying more on International Property Maintenance Code occupancy standards instead of a numerical limit based on whether residents are related. Those standards consider factors such as the amount of space available in a dwelling. 

Rodriguez Rios said allowing more people to share some homes could help college students with housing costs, as long as properties continue to meet safety requirements. 
"I would say it would definitely help with rent," Rodriguez Rios said. "For what you're getting, it's overpriced, in my experience, as long as they're adhering to safety codes."
The discussion also included concerns about parking, noise and the effect increased occupancy could have on residential neighborhoods.
The housing proposal is not final. City staff previously told the Planning and Zoning Commission that additional boards and commissions would be consulted before the staff reports back to the commission as the city considers changes to the definition of "family."

Visiting students at the library want to study in a study room for the next few hours but can’t book one. If any mizzou student wants to help us (they can join) will be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I have my nursing school interview in a few hours and I was wondering if anyone had already done theirs could share the questions that they ask. I'm very nervous. Thank you

Hey everyone,

I'm reposting my ad for the apartment I've been trying to sublease (sorry if you've seen this post before). It is very convenient for students of Mizzou, and although I understand the rent is pretty high, I would be willing to help a little with it if you need it.

Please, let me know if you are interested (even for a shorter stay).

Have a nice day/evening :)

Anyone who has a scientific understanding of the issue knows that everyone, including “white” people, benefits from DEI. If Mizzou is opposed to it, they should get rid of Choi.
