Dear Fellow Alumni,
Wow, what a wonderful homecoming celebration. We had a great turnout of alumni during the weekend activities. Thank you for making it a huge success and showing that Griffon Pride. You Griffons really did bring home the Black and Gold!

The Alumni Association also sponsored our first webinar on Oct. 6, 2016 with approximately 23 participants registering for Understanding Social Media.
That is just the beginning of our year together. We have more events to come and more alumni to reach. As I stated in the last edition, our main goal this year is to get people involved. This means inviting other alums to join us at events. Take advantage of the many special opportunities coming up.
Remember to join us for the next webinar scheduled for Feb. 15; the subject is contact marketing and is a free one-hour webinar. More information will be coming out soon.
In St. Joe, we will once again celebrate Future Griffs at the Chocolate Factory on Feb. 20. Events are also planned throughout the year in our various chapters in Kansas City and St. Louis. These are all great ways to connect with your fellow alumni and old friends. Most activities are scheduled around athletic events and/or local events.
We also have a number of networks that are very active and meet a number of needs: Mama Griffs (alumni with children and/or grandchildren), Forever Griffons (alumni who have celebrated 40 or more years since graduation), Craig School of Business, Griffon Band Alumni and the Black Alumni Network. They are all planning events and activities to pull people together.
I strongly encourage you to get involved on some level. Whether it’s volunteering or attending the events, it will make you more aware of what’s going on with Missouri Western and appreciate the great asset it is. It will also help you remember the great education you received and the connections you made while attending Mo West.
Our alumni are our greatest assets. No university is strong without having passionate and committed alumni. So make a plan today to get involved, show your spirit and be a part of this outstanding University and alumni association. You can be a part of the excitement!
Sincerely,
Mary Vaughan ’79
