UMSL Young Alumni Giving Campaign

Did you know that UMSL has almost 20,000 alumni under the age of 35? When united, a group this large can truly make a difference. That’s why the G.I.F.T. campaign was created, to provide young alumni like you exciting ways to network and influence the future of this institution.

I know you’re thinking, “I’m young, I don’t have a lot to give.” Well, don’t worry.  All gifts, regardless of size, are appreciated. You can choose to support your academic area, student scholarships or the UMSL Fund, which addresses the University’s immediate needs.

Currently, UMSL receives 30% of its operating budget from the state and 39% from tuition and fees.  Alumni contributions help make up the difference and support the university’s outstanding units, programs and scholarships. Your generosity also improves the University’s rankings in publications like US News & World Report. This directly affects you because higher rankings influence the value of your education to a current or prospective employer.

Last year we were selected to represent YOU as the faces of the young alumni giving campaign. You can read more about us by clicking on the bio links to the left.  Please join us in impacting future Tritons!  Renew or continue your support of the university and work with us to encourage other young alumni to give.  Watch your e-mail and mail for updates on the G.I.F.T. campaign, events and volunteer opportunities.
