Get Involved

 

Once you leave the University of Central Missouri, you and your classmates' careeres may take you across the globe. Your life will change and move forward, but we hope looking back on your college days will always bring a smile and a sense of pride in your accomplishments.

The day you walked across the stage at commencement was a proud one, marking the culmination of your studies. However, it did not signal the end of your relationship with UCM. Alumni have always been, and always will be, an integral part of the UCM  community!

How an individual chooses to get involved with the UCM Alumni Foundation looks different for each person. Perhaps you want to connect with a network of alumni 100,000+ strong through events. Or, maybe, you are passionate about our motto of "Education for Service" and want to engage by volunteering.  You could also get involved as a difference maker, supporting current students by making a gift or stepping in to a leadership role for a MuleNation chapter or on the Next Generation Council. Interested in doing it all? There is no limit to your involvement!

Your continued engagement with UCM through the Alumni Foundation will be personally rewarding to you while making your alma mater stronger. It's a win- win!
