The Graduate Bulletin 2012 manage, administer, and disburse private funds for MSUM; to promote and advocate positive relationships with the alumni of MSUM; and to enhance MSUM in every way. The Alumni Foundation’s roots go back to the first gathering of our alumni more than one hundred years ago. The alumni formalized their gatherings in 1929 by forming the Moorhead State Teachers College Alumni Association. In 1969, the Minnesota State College Foundation was founded to acquire and manage gifts and private funds for the University. These two organizations merged in 1996 to form the Minnesota State University Alumni Foundation. Governed by a Board of Directors, the Alumni Foundation works closely with all university fundraising and alumni activities, always addressing its mission to “develop relationships and provide funding to advance academic excellence” at MSUM.
