The University of Missouri-Columbia has received an 18-month, $39,116 grant from the U.S. Department of Education to establish the Moberly Community Coalition for Children and Families Project. The coalition is a collaborative effort with Moberly Public Schools and several area social service agencies to provide mental health services for
students. The program emphasizes prevention and early identification of mental illnesses.
The University of Texas Libraries has received the largest single gift in its history, a $1 million gift from UT alum Jan J. Roberts in honor of her late husband, Richard T. Roberts. The endowment will be used to upgrade and maintain the Fine Arts Library facility, acquire new library materials and support readings or lectures by visiting playwrights, poets, composers and authors. The reading room at the Fine Arts Library will be named the Richard T. and Jan J. Roberts Reading Room.
