Advocate for Inclusion

Amos Jaimes came to Mizzou with the goal of becoming involved, but decided to go above and beyond in making others feel included. He spent his time here at Mizzou participating in the LGBTQ Resource Center and Multicultural Center, where he was able to learn about many identities both similar and different to his own - and to educate his peers while promoting a deeper understanding of how to be inclusive of all people.
