Homecoming Every Day

The MSUM Foundation is proud to unveil its state-of-the-art Christianson Alumni Center, a vibrant hub designed to foster student and community relationships and serve as the anchor for alumni returning to campus. Alumni will also have a permanent gathering place, a symbolic beacon of MSUM’s legacy of philanthropy, reminding them of the generosity of those who came before them. Through interactions, donors can see how their scholarships have impacted students, while current and future students will be inspired to give back to their alma mater. These connections create a powerful magic that benefits both students and alumni.

Strategically located across from the campus gates, this dynamic 16,400-square-foot facility offers a welcoming space for alumni and friends to engage in networking, professional development, and social events.

“We want to create the feeling of homecoming every day,” says the MSUM Foundation’s executive director Gary Haugo. “Many people have dreamed of completing this project, so it’s very exciting that it’s coming to fruition.”

With its cutting-edge amenities, including meeting rooms and an event space, the Alumni Center is poised to become a cornerstone of our community. The Barry Auditorium event space will be available to the public to rent for receptions, conferences, performances, reunions and more.
