Okay, Murray State alumni, we want to know! 👀💙💛

Should Homecoming go back to its origins as a formal event and bring back the mums? Or should we keep it casual and celebrate in Racer style? 🏇

The Murray State University Alumni Association is entering a new century, and we want to modernize our impact.

Today, it is important we recognize that every Racer is already part of the alumni family. Every Racer belongs.

We’re transitioning from our traditional dues-based membership model to one centered on philanthropic and volunteer support. This new approach will help us continue connecting, celebrating and engaging Racers while creating new opportunities for alumni to support the students and University they love.

We’ll be sharing more about what this transition means in the coming weeks. Have questions? Drop them in the comments or send us a message. 💙💛
