A Message about the National Alumni Association Evolution

The Office of Alumni Engagement and the Alumni Council are excited to share an important update about the future of the National Alumni Association at Mount St. Mary's University. This year marks the beginning of a thoughtful transition as we work together to enhance the structure of the National Alumni Association. Our goal is to develop a structure that provides more opportunities for our alumni to become involved at the Mount while strengthening its partnership with the University for years to come. As we develop this new framework, we are guided by three primary goals:

  • Align the National Alumni Association with the University's Strategic Plan by prioritizing initiatives that support the University's mission and future direction.
  • Build upon the strong foundation of our current National Alumni Association to create more meaningful opportunities for a broader and more diverse community of Mount alumni.
  • Develop clear pathways for engagement by establishing new guidelines that make it easier for alumni to connect, volunteer, lead, and stay involved.

Throughout this transition year, the Office of Alumni Engagement and the Alumni Council will collaborate to design an enhanced National Alumni Association structure that reflects these goals. We anticipate completing this work by June 2027.

Most importantly, alumni engagement is not on pause. While we develop the long-term vision, alumni will continue to enjoy the programs and opportunities that make our Mount community so special. You can still expect alumni events and reunions, volunteer opportunities, alumni awards and recognition programs, and many other ways to stay connected with fellow Mount alums.

Your involvement remains essential to the success of our alumni community. We encourage you to continue participating, sharing your ideas, and celebrating what it means to be alumni of Mount St. Mary’s University.

We look forward to sharing updates throughout this process and are excited to build an even stronger National Alumni Association together.

Sincerely,
Casey Smial, C'20, MBA'25
Director of Alumni Engagement
