Alumni Benefits

As an MU graduate, you automatically become a member of the MU Alumni Association. As a member of the Alumni Association, you are represented by a Board of Directors. The Board meets quarterly to identify and implement ways to keep alumni informed and involved. All alumni are eligible to serve on Board committees and as members of the Board.

Make sure we always have your current e-mail address, and you will receive the monthly alumni e-newsletter. The e-newsletter is filled with timely news and useful links to keep you connected to your teams, organizations, faculty, and friends at Methodist!

You can get an alumni parking sticker for your car so you may return to campus anytime you like. All you have to do is come by the Alumni Relations Office in the Mallett-Rogers House Monday-Friday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Please bring your license plate number to fill out the registration form.

As a Methodist University alum, you can give one Greatest Gift Scholarship (GGS) each year to a full-time incoming freshman or transfer student. The Greatest Gift Alumni Scholarship is worth $500 per year and is fully renewable each year provided the student maintains eligibility and renewal requirements.

GGS applications must be received by the Office of Advancement and Alumni Relations by August 1 for fall admission, and by January 2 for spring admission.

Your GGS is a wonderful way for you to share your Methodist University experience with others, so please take advantage of it. All it costs you is 15 minutes of your time to fill out the form! Contact the Alumni Relations Office to give your Greatest Gift!

As an MU alumni, you have on-campus access to Davis Memorial Library and all of its resources for one year following your graduation.

The Methodist University Career Services Office is available to you for life. If you visit Career Services on the MU website, you will find a special area for alumni where you can upload your resume, search for opportunities, and track your job search. As an employer, you may also use the website and Career Services to hire Methodist interns and graduates.

As an alum, you will receive the Methodist University semi-annual magazine, MU Today, which will keep you up-to-date on alumni and campus events. When you find that first job, get engaged, or have children, we invite you to submit a “Class Note” for publication in the magazine to keep your classmates current on all your news. E-mail class notes to [email protected]. If you are not receiving the magazine please call us at 910.630.7200.

The Office of Alumni Relations sponsors a number of special alumni events throughout the year, including Homecoming, regional events, and others. We also coordinate alumni participation in service opportunities with your alma mater, including career connections of other alumni and MU students.
