UCM Legacy Program

The University of Central Missouri Legacy program is for current students and alumni whose family members — including children, parents, stepparents or grandparents — also attended UCM. Legacy Families have some of the strongest ties to the university, and we love hearing their stories and seeing their UCM spirit!

We want to hear from you! Tell us about your family's memories and the traditions that tie each generation of students together. When you share your story and submit a family photo using our Google form, you help inform our UCM Legacy program and inspire other families!

Share Your Story

As part of the UCM Legacy community, we invite you to stay connected and celebrate your family’s MuleNation traditions through special opportunities and recognition. Here are some ways to get involved:

Family at Family Weekend Pancake Breakfast

Come back for Family Weekend

Every September the university celebrates students and the people who love and support them during Family Weekend. Join us for a complimentary pancake breakfast catered by famous flippers Chris Cakes, participate in the ever-popular Color Run and watch the Mules Football Game! Family Weekend 2026 is scheduled for Sept. 12.

Volunteers distributing UCM Legacy boxes to incoming students

Welcome Incoming Students

Help us extend a warm welcome to incoming UCM Legacy students at the start of the fall semester. If you know a student from a UCM Legacy Family who is joining us on Move-In Day, reach out so we can deliver a special gift box to their residence hall! Call us at 660-543-8000 or email alumni@ucmo.edu.
