The Goode Society recognizes contributors whose yearly giving to UMSL reaches $1,000 or more.
Over 112,000 graduates have chosen the University of Missouri–St. Louis to lead them to a more successful future. They are entrepreneurs building successful businesses, researchers at the top of their field, public servants devoted to the well-being of our communities, scholars, teachers, nurses, engineers and industry leaders who continue to bring ever-greater distinction to this nationally acclaimed institution.
To continue its transformative role in education, UMSL relies upon the generous investment of alumni, parents, community partners and other friends dedicated to ensuring a superior experience for our students.
The Goode Society was named after Wayne Goode, who is often considered the father of UMSL. His commitment and perseverance were critical in helping UMSL take root and grow. Like Wayne Goode, members of the Goode Society are essential in helping UMSL provide quality, accessible public education to those who seek it.
