Located in the Welcome Center on the Southeastern Oklahoma State University campus, the Alumni Association was founded in 1988 to be of service to the University, to promote its interests, and to perpetuate good fellowship among students, former students, graduates, friends, faculty, and staff. The Alumni Association strives to represent its constituency as an active part of the campus community. The Alumni Association operates in conjunction with the University and relies primarily on memberships and donations from former students and friends to exist. It is governed by a volunteer board of directors.
