MUW Alumni Association

Chapters

The MUW Alumni Association (MUWAA) offers many opportunities to connect our alumni around the world through active chapters across the country. If there currently is not an alumni chapter in your area, you may be interested in working with the MUWAA Chapters and Constituency Groups Committee and the Office of Development and Alumni to establish a chapter.

To get started, submit the Alumni Chapter and Constituency Group Interest Form, and a member of the MUWAA Chapters and Constituency Groups Committee will contact you with next steps. You also may contact the Office of Development and Alumni (developmentandalumni@muw.edu or 662-329-7295) to let us know you are interested in starting a chapter in your area. 

To learn more about starting an alumni chapter and preparing your group for success, we invite you to check out the following resources:

We look forward to learning more about your group of engaged alumni!
