Alumni volunteers and MAA staff coordinate hundreds of touchpoints each year. Dates below describe typical seasons; confirm times and registration on the official association calendar before you travel.
Career fairs co-hosted with the university, scholarship award ceremonies, and service days tied to Earth Week or local food banks. Chapters in warmer climates may hold outdoor picnics.
Young alumni happy hours, continuing education webinars, and send-off parties for students heading to Columbia. Some regions pause large events in July and resume in August.
Football watch parties, homecoming travel, and philanthropy drives that support campus scholarships. Professional chapters may host industry speakers during conference season.
Holiday receptions, basketball watch events, and year-end giving campaigns. Virtual programs are common when weather limits travel across Missouri.
Panels feature alumni in law, medicine, journalism, engineering, and education. Students can practice interviews, and mid-career graduates swap referrals in moderated roundtables.
Chapters adopt schools, parks, or shelters for single-day projects. These events double as low-pressure ways to meet other volunteers without a formal membership meeting.
Fundraising nights at restaurants, online drives, and matching gift reminders help support scholarships, the student emergency fund, and college-specific priorities.
