Morris Area Alumni

Although February 2 was a chilly day, it was perfect for a cozy gathering of alumni and friends at alumni-owned Stone’s Throw Cafe in Morris. We celebrated the many accomplishments of our students, campus, and local community, and enjoyed time for catching up and reconnecting after a long winter.

Midwinter

In March, alumni, friends, and members of the campus community gathered for Midwinter at Jax Cafe in Minneapolis. The annual event, hosted by the University of Minnesota Morris Alumni Association (UMMAA), starts with the annual meeting of the board and continues with food, drinks, and reminiscing about Morris. During the meeting, several members of the board were elected, and those ending their terms were thanked for their service. See page 17 for the list of current board members.
