Alumni Association
Mount Union alumni are a loyal and dedicated group. Whether volunteering, providing financial support, attending events, or participating in the educational journeys of today’s students, alumni provide the foundation upon which to build continued success while staying connected to the storied traditions and legacies of the past.
HISTORY
The Alumni Association was officially organized in 1948. All alumni, and anyone who has attended Mount Union for at least one semester, are members of the Alumni Association. Its purpose is to promote interest in Mount Union through a variety of programs and is governed by the Alumni Association Executive Board.
STAY CONNECTED
Alumni who update the University with their current contact information receive communication and information about exciting news and upcoming events. The Mount Union Magazine is a primary news source for alumni and includes news regarding campus, academics, athletics, students, alumni, current faculty, and class notes.
