Welcome Education Alumni!

Over 47,000 people have graduated from MU’s College of Education. You comprise an elite group of professionals dedicated to education and to a wide variety of other professions, too. Since your days as a student, many of you have traveled in very different directions, throughout the state, nation and abroad. Collectively, your community impact has been both in- and outside of the classroom — as teachers, counselors, librarians, psychologists, advisors, administrators, lawyers and business leaders, among others.

Your College of Education has the largest constituency of Mizzou Alumni Association members of all Colleges and Schools in the University of Missouri System. You should be proud! Throughout the year, there are several ways for you to engage in and stay connected to your College of Education.

This is a special year for the Mizzou Alumni Association as 150 years of traditions and pride are celebrated. We encourage you to come back to 'Ol Mizzou and celebrate. Please see the calendar for upcoming events.

Connecting with the past is an important aspect in preparing for a successful future. We appreciate alumni involvement and feedback — please stay connected to your College of Education! No matter where your path has taken you, you will always be a Mizzou Tiger! Please take a few minutes to tell us a little bit about yourself by updating your information.

We hope that you’ll return soon for a campus visit. Until then, please browse the site to find out more about our events and initiatives. If you can’t find what you are looking for, give us a ring at 573-882-8524.
