Chapters and Groups

Connect with other Bears

Standing more than 150,000 strong, we are Bears for life, and our alumni chapters and groups are an integral part of what bonds Missouri State across the globe. Missouri State is actively recruiting alumni chapter leaders to grow the Bear network and provide valuable connections.

The Bear network serves as a support system and resource for local alumni, friends and students. Our alumni chapters bring together alumni and friends in their local communities for meaningful programs, networking events, community service projects and to cheer on the Bears!
