Alumni

Alumni are one of our greatest assets, and the Office of Alumni Relations is here to help you tap into that potential. Through the Alumni Program Assistance Fund, you can apply for financial and collaborative support to bring your alumni-focused initiatives to life.

Since January 2023, this fund has successfully reconnected over 300 alumni with MRU through impactful events and programs. Whether you’re planning a dynamic speaker series, hands-on workshops or powerful networking events, we're ready to help you strengthen alumni ties, enhance the student experience, and elevate your program’s impact.

Apply now to create meaningful alumni connections and enrich the MRU experience for your students!

Any funds you receive through the Program Assistance Fund must be used directly for alumni engagement. Funds may not be used for bursaries or scholarships, sponsorship, internal or operational costs or personal benefit (i.e. conference fees, travel, or professional development). 

*The level of marketing support is determined on a case-by-case basis*


“We're so grateful for Alumni Relations' support to subsidize the Info Design BBQ – it helped keep costs low for everyone and created a welcoming event for our Info Design community! I saw so many conversations between students and alumni, and alumni from different cohorts connecting with each other and with our Industry Advisory Group. Overall, it was a fun and fruitful event for alumni and future alumni!”

- Kelsey McColgan, Information Design
