Throughout the year, the Alumni Association works to make sure you continue your Missouri State experience—offering a variety of events and activities to help you keep in touch with your alma mater, your friends and your traditions. In addition, the Alumni Association will send you several publications on a regular basis which will include updates on fellow alumni, as well as news about people and programs on the Missouri State campus.

Events are held regionally and nationally in cities such as Dallas, Denver, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Chicago, Phoenix, Washington D.C., Tulsa, Jefferson City, St. Louis and Kansas City, just to name a few. These events are great opportunities for you to network, establish new relationships and reconnect with old friends in your area.
