Who We Are

The mission of the Northwestern State University Alumni Association is to promote the advancement of academic excellence by developing coalition among alumni, students, friends and the university community while supporting our university’s traditions, values, and future.

The Alumni Association accomplishes this mission through the support of the Membership Drive. The Membership Drive helps maintain the day-to-day excellence of the university by making a difference in every aspect of life at NSU. The Membership Drive allows your Alumni Association to host reunions, local chapter programs, Grad Fest, Homecoming Activities, faculty recognition awards, quarterly Alumni Columns Magazine, monthly email newsletter and most importantly provides scholarships to our fine Northwestern State students.
