Alumni Announcements

We ’ ve had a whirlwind of a year in alumni relations . We introduced Manchester ’ s 16th president , Dr . Stacy Hendricks ’ 96 Young , to so many of you on our 11-stop “ Meet the President ” tour across the United States . We look forward to bringing Manchester to you and connecting with alumni in different regions each year .
On April 17th , the Manchester community came together for one day to raise over $ 177,000 for The Manchester Fund on Giving Day . The Manchester Fund continues to bridge the gap between tuition and address our most urgent needs , such as student financial aid , academic support , and equipment . This year , students in the Advanced Public Relations class received hands-on experience assisting the Office of Alumni Relations in planning Giving Day activities and philanthropy education for the rest of campus . Check out our wrap up video below to hear more about the student experience . We continue to be extremely grateful for our generous donors who gave on Giving Day . Thank you for helping MU students grow from acorns into mighty oak trees !
