We are thrilled to welcome high school students from across the state for the Missouri Scholars Academy!

Founded in 1985, the Missouri Scholars Academy is a three-week residential program for 330 of Missouri’s academically gifted students who are ready to begin their junior year of high school. The Academy is held each June on the Mizzou campus and administered by the Honors College.

Dean Catherine Rymph welcomed students to campus, and MSA co-directors Doug Valentine and Steve Keller shared their excitement for the weeks ahead. Students also heard from welcome speaker Fares Akremi, a Mizzou alumnus who earned degrees in geography and political science, along with the Honors College Certificate. We are excited to welcome these outstanding students to the Mizzou community and wish them an inspiring and memorable Academy experience.

An updated radiopharmaceutical chemistry textbook will be published this spring, detailing the latest advancements and clinical successes in the field. When Nora Pryor gets her copy, she already knows which page she’ll flip to first.

Among the discussions of emerging cancer treatments and diagnostic technologies will be a chapter Pryor helped write as an undergraduate student at the University of Missouri.

“I’m going to see the pages of the textbook and be like, ‘I wrote that,’” Pryor said. “That is going to be crazy.”

For Pryor, the moment represents more than just a publication credit. It is the culmination of four years spent building a research career she never imagined for herself before arriving at Mizzou – one that led from freshman-year lab work to unique internships, cancer research and, soon, graduate school at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City.

“I never thought I was going to be a scientist,” said Pryor, who will graduate this May with degrees in chemistry and French, as well as the Honors College Certificate. “I took a chemistry course in high school because it was required, and I ended up really liking it. It was the first time that I had ever taken a science class and really enjoyed it. I decided to try a higher-level chemistry course and realized I still really enjoyed it. I figured I would begin my college career as a chemistry major with the thought that I would change my major down the road, but I never did.”

Pryor was recently named the 2026 Honors College Outstanding Senior and will speak during the Honors commencement ceremony: https://honors.missouri.edu/news/2026/05/from-first-year-fellow-to-future-scientist/.
