Thanks to everyone who contributed we have reached our goal to dedicate a bench in Christian's honor.
Christian Basi is retiring after 30 years of service to the University of Missouri. During Christian's tenure at Mizzou, he initiated Hometown Connections, writing and placing thousands of press releases about student successes to hometown newspapers; became MU's first research writer and garnered hundreds of thousands of stories in media across the nation; taught numerous journalism students and staff how to promote the University; and served faithfully under four chancellors as spokesperson for the University in order to assure that the University was shown in the best light possible in the media.
Please join colleagues and friends in celebrating Christian's outstanding contributions to Mizzou by donating to dedicate a bench in his honor in the Mizzou Botanic Garden.
Please note that your gift is in honor of Christian Basi in the comment box.
