Building Changemakers
At the Robert J. Trulaske, Sr. College of Business, Changemakers are everywhere — in our classrooms, workplaces, communities and beyond. Whether you're a student, faculty or staff member, alum or friend of the college, we want to hear how you're making a difference. Maybe you've launched a business, developed a new idea, made a successful pitch, volunteered for a cause you believe in or built a career that creates opportunities for others.
Whatever your story, we'd love to hear it.
Tell us your
Changemaker story
Record a short video — just 15 to 30 seconds — introducing yourself and sharing how you're making an impact.
Not sure where to start? Try answering one of these questions:
- What does being a Changemaker mean to you?
- How are you making a difference in your work, studies or community?
- What have you accomplished that you're especially proud of?
- Who or what inspired you to take action?
- How has Trulaske helped you turn an idea into something meaningful?
You don't need a professional camera or a polished production. Your phone is perfect!
Tips for recording your video
How to film
Center yourself in the frame, clean your camera lens, check the lighting and go! Don't worry about starting or stopping the recording perfectly. We can edit out those moments and other small imperfections.
Where to film
Choose a location that helps tell your story. You can record your video:
- In front of the I'm a Changemaker wall in Cornell Hall
- On the Mizzou Quad
- In a classroom, office or workspace
- At your business or organization
- Anywhere that feels meaningful to you
Just find a quiet spot with good lighting, hold your phone steady and speak naturally.
