Uriah Orland, APR, is director of communications at the University of Missouri Research Reactor (MURR). He is responsible for developing effective internal and external messaging and communication strategies. 

A retired Air Force lieutenant colonel, Orland believes leadership education helps students in all aspects of their lives. 

In his own words: “Learning skills to lead others requires emotional intelligence and self-improvement that are valuable in everything we do. Leadership isn't only about others; it is learning to look inwards to lead ourselves to be the best version of ourselves that we can be.”
