15 Trulaske faculty, students and alumnus ‘unveiled’ for 2020 Tap Day honors

Each year, select University of Missouri students, staff and faculty are inducted into one of six secret honorary societies at Mizzou's annual Tap Day. The six societies – QEBH, Mystical Seven, LSV, Mortar Board, Omicron Delta Kappa and the Rollins Society – honor new members for their service, leadership and commitment to the Mizzou community. This year, the list of honorees includes 13 Trulaske College of Business students, 2 faculty members and an alumnus of the college.
