All graduates are automatically members of the Alumni Association, which was officially organized in 1948. Its purpose is to promote interest in Mount Union College through a variety of programs.
As an alum of Mount Union, what kind of events can I attend?
Homecoming/Alumni Weekend
Return to your alma mater and join in the Homecoming festivities! Meet friends from College and visit new and historic campus facilities. As you well remember from your student days, the football game and the parade are two favorites of the weekend. This year will mark the first Homecoming and Alumni Weekend combination so watch your mailbox for details. Homecoming favorites among Mount Union alumni are the Run-A-MUC 5K Race, Greek open houses and post-game activities. Plus, now look forward to the new alumni reunion party, interest sessions, carnival in the fieldhouse for the kids, Homecoming-Fest friday night and the highlight - alumni weekend luncheon on Sunday. Call your friends and return to campus together for Homecoming/Alumni Weekend!

What is the Annual Fund?
Alumni and friends have supported Mount Union students through the Annual Fund since 1928. Annual Fund donors add value to Mount Union because their gifts strengthen our educational program. Fundamental to such strength is constant improvement of the academic program through outstanding teaching. In addition to faculty development, value is also added through new technology and computer systems, through expanded study opportunities in the library and classrooms, and through scholarships and financial assistance. An investment in Mount Union's Annual Fund is an investment in our students.

Additionally, students and alumni will have access to the Web Job listing created
solely for Mount Union. To establish an account you will need to
contact the Office of Career Development for instructions.
