SEMO’s Sesquicentennial

‘For 150 years, “Making History” has been an inherent part of what Southeast Missouri State University has contributed to the region. The Copper Dome of Academic Hall rises to welcome students to a tradition of innovative academics, educational excellence, and launching extraordinary careers. As we plan for our next chapter, the Sesquicentennial will celebrate our storied history and our diverse graduates who are now “Making History” in their own communities.’
