As we launch Power the Roar, Mizzou’s bold new campaign, I’m reminded of something I’ve seen time and again: Our greatest strategic advantage is the strength and commitment of our alumni and friends.
The campaign’s priorities will guide transformative investments in students, research and communities. They will build champions across fields — whether classrooms and clinics or courts and stadiums. But our real momentum comes from something deeper. From the front row at Homecoming to leadership roles across every sector, Mizzou alumni continue to show up, speak out and step forward. They channel the loyalty, passion and pride of Tigers around the world.
Our alumni are not only generous with their financial support, but they also invest their time, energy and expertise. They mentor students, hire fellow Tigers, serve on advisory boards and proudly share Mizzou’s story wherever they go. Having one of the most engaged alumni networks anywhere gives Mizzou a real edge in a time of growing competition and scrutiny.
At the Mizzou Alumni Association, we see this dedication every day. We hear from graduates eager to give back, to pay it forward and to ensure the next generation of Tigers has every opportunity to thrive. As we Power the Roar, that spirit of engagement will be essential to reaching our goals.
To our alumni and friends: Thank you for being Mizzou’s strategic advantage. Your support drives this campaign and helps secure a bold, bright future for our university and everyone who calls it home.
