Welcome

As one of more than 2,000 Bear volunteers making an impact on our campus, this newsletter is for you! The Missouri State University Alumni Association (MSUAA) has grown tremendously in the last few years, creating a host of new alumni programs, benefits and resources. The most exciting change has been the outpouring of enthusiastic Bears stepping forward to serve their beloved university in so many ways! We cannot thank you enough.

Some of you have been Bear volunteers for many years. Others are just getting started. We continue to seek ways in which volunteers can make an impact on the success of our students and the future of our university.

A centralized volunteer online home, where all Bears can find opportunities that are “just right” for them, has been created. Visit alumni.missouristate.edu/volunteer.htm to learn more about current activities. Soon, we’ll publish a centralized volunteer resource site, as well, where you will find information to help you do your volunteer job even better!

This newsletter is for you, our valued volunteers; we want to provide you with the information and resources you need to do the job you signed up for. We also want to share stories about the impact your efforts have on and off campus and to introduce you to new volunteer opportunities.

We hope you enjoy Maroon Matters, and that you will share your volunteer stories with us in the months and years to come!

With Bear Pride,

Lori Fan
Executive Director of Alumni Relations
