Kennedy Moore, MPPA began organizing as an undergraduate student at Mizzou with Concerned Student 1950 in 2015 when the institution drew national attention for the administration’s reactive response to racial tensions. She graduated from the University of Missouri – Columbia with degrees in Communication and Black Studies in 2018. Following commencement, she utilized her skill as a natural communicator in the areas of public engagement and public relations.
