HOMECOMING 2023

Mizzou pride has burned bright for generations and although we’ve faced challenges, some things remain unchanged --- Our optimism. Our resilience. Our progress.

More than 1,000 University of Missouri graduates have rallied their voices to create an organization to connect Black alumni with one another in support of Mizzou. The Mizzou Alumni Association supports this endeavor and is proud to be an active and invested partner to make Mizzou stronger.

The Mizzou Black Alumni Network offers the opportunity for alumni to connect with one another and to demonstrate support of the MU student body.

Thank you to the alumni that have already committed their support. If you are interested in participating in the Mizzou Black Alumni Network, please register your interest.
