Auxiliaries

Meeting Students' Needs

The Missouri Students Association currently operates five student-ran auxiliary programs to help meet the emerging needs of our campus community. Auxiliaries are student ran and operated programs supported by MSA, the Graduate Professional Council (GPC), and the University of Missouri that provide direct service and support to students, faculty, and staff. MSA Auxiliaries are generally student services started by students for students until they grow into full fledged programs and leave MSA to continue to grow.

Available Auxiliaries
