Stan and Terry Freerks feel that UMSL is a quality and vital institution: their desire is to provide opportunities for others to enjoy what UMSL has to offer. Terry believes that education is foundational to a productive and enjoyable life, and she and Stan both believe that athletic involvement complements those pursuits.

Terry received her BA in History and her MA in Education from UMSL. It was in the UMSL environment that she realized her love of academics and her desire to continue her studies. Terry received her PhD. in Counseling from St. Louis University. Terry attributes the academic preparation and professorial guidance from the UMSL faculty for her decision to seek her Doctorate. While at UMSL, Terry profited from the tutelage and mentoring of then History Professor Blanche Touhill, who became Chancellor of UMSL, where Terry experienced Dr. Touhill dedicating herself to the development and well-being of the UMSL students and university. Terry wanted to follow that example by giving back to the school that was so vital to her success as a professional and as a person. Terry has her own private practice in counseling and is the Executive Director of the Clayton Shaw Park Swim Team.

Stan received his MBA from UMSL after having completed his undergraduate degree in History from Cornell University. Stan founded his own wholesale insurance brokerage firm in St. Louis in 1979 and continues the practice today.
