The University of Montana Alumni Association was founded in 1901 by Eloise Knowles and originally served 24 alumni. Today, we serve thousands of alumni and friends across the globe, helping them stay connected to the University of Montana. We support events like Homecoming and class reunions, manage communications including our Alumni Insider Newsletter and the Montanan magazine, and facilitate opportunities such as career services, alumni mentoring and travel. We fund scholarships for students and assist the University's legislative advocacy efforts through board-driven volunteer efforts to gain support for higher education throughout the state.
