What advice would you give to incoming Mizzou CHS students?

Don’t stress out too much! All deadlines and requirements will be outlined directly, so there is nothing that you are falling behind on or missing. Once you come to campus, everything will come together, even if it feels overwhelming right now.

What ice cream place would you recommend in Columbia?

I love Sparky’s icecream! They have super delicious sorbet options for those of us who are lactose intolerant.
