Making More Memories - Forever Mount  Many thanks to those who helped to make this year's Alumni Weekend and Homecoming our best yet ... 80 degrees didn't hurt either! Even if you didn't get the opportunity to come "home" for the weekend, we hope you will enjoy the many photos on our NEW Facebook page. Check it out and "Like" us today!
As we announce two new construction projects on campus (keep reading to find out what the projects are), you will see that we are continuing to move forward and the future looks bright with increased opportunities and programs for our students, our alumni of tomorrow.
Stop by anytime, our doors are always open!
All the best from campus for a healthy and happy fall with family and friends.

Student-led Project Seeking Alumni Participants A group of Mount Union students in a marketing research class are conducting a research project designed to demonstrate the role of marketing research as an information-gathering tool and to provide an opportunity to experience the process. They need alumni assistance. Participate in their project, which should take nearly three minutes of your time. The questions were hypothetically written by the students and the results will be used solely to complete this class project. The group is researching master's programs at Mount Union. Thank you in advance for assisting them in completing their class project and taking time to answer these questions. Legacy Information Request  It's NEVER too early to share the Purple Raider pride!
