Truman State University is Missouri’s public liberal arts and sciences university, based here in Kirksville. This folder collects verified news releases and public events from the university’s own communications office and event calendar, so you can see what’s happening on campus without digging through the university’s site yourself.
Truman’s event calendar changes constantly and includes hundreds of student-group and department listings. The live, full calendar is always at truman.edu/event. Below are select highlights we’ve verified directly from the university’s own pages, not a complete feed.
