It may be September, but we're still feeling the scorching summer heat at the University of Missouri-St. Louis. In fact, temps are projected to be in the triple digits this week! 🥵🥵🥵 Take care, out there, Tritons!

Watch out weather broadcasters 😎 ) But seriously, y'all... stay cool, keep hydrated, and put on sunblock.

We are loving this aerial shot of some of our newest UMSL Tritons by university photographer Derik Holtmann. This was taken on August 21, 2026, after the New Student Convocation ceremony held at the Blanche M. Touhill Performing Arts Center. About 1.6k first-year students are enrolled at this fall semester. In the mix are our UMSL Office of Inclusive Postsecondary Education students in the Succeed and Link programs. ❤❤❤🔱🔱🔱
