The University of Missouri will guarantee admission to Early College students from Columbia Public Schools, Farmington, Lee's Summit R-7, Liberty and North Kansas City if they meet a 3.0 GPA and finish 12 college credits by their junior year's end.

Today, skilled volunteers join Show-Me Central Habitat for Humanity at the Boone Prairie subdivision for a one-day home frame build from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., working with the construction team to raise and secure the home's walls.
Sports
Fans heading to today's 11 a.m. Mizzou game at Memorial Stadium face delays as tailgate lots open at 6:30 a.m. and game-day parking permits required vehicle relocation Friday between 5 and 10 p.m. Expect traffic disruptions from I-70 construction (including the Providence Road bridge) and local events.
Health
MU Health Care will host a vaccination event at the Columbia Farmers Market today from 8 a.m. to noon at 1769 W Ash St (offering flu shots for anyone six months and older and COVID vaccines for those 12 and up).
Attendees should bring an insurance card and wear loose clothing for proper administration.
Culture
Columbia residents of all ages can join efforts to restore a public art mural at Field Park (details on scheduling are forthcoming).
The project aims to refresh a local art landmark by engaging the community.
Government
Missouri activist groups condemned the AG's probe into Mizzou Students for Justice in Palestine, saying it abuses power and stifles dissent after the group was barred from Homecoming; Jeff Stack (mid-Missourians for Justice in Palestine leader) said the move targets peaceful student voices.
Government
Engine 1601 was put into service Monday at Station 16 with a 750-gallon capacity and a 1,250-gallon-per-minute pump (funded by the No Tax Increase Bond approved by voters) to honor the Turner family.
It also took part in UM's Homecoming parade on Oct. 3.
