A Bold New Chapter for the OMAA

Exciting things are happening at the University of Mississippi, and we want you to be a part of it. The Ole Miss Alumni Association is embarking on a bold new chapter in our history, and as we grow and evolve, we need your support more than ever. The upcoming years will bring transformative changes in how we engage, connect and strengthen the ties between alumni and our beloved university.

The Rebel Way: OMAA Strategic Plan

At the heart of our efforts is The Rebel Way—our bold new strategic plan that will guide the Ole Miss Alumni Association over the next three years. Focused on three central pillars—Fostering Engagement, Building Community and Sustaining Growth—The Rebel Way is designed to unite the Rebel family and provide greater opportunities for connection and collaboration. Whether through exclusive membership benefits, networking events or enriched communications, we aim to create an inclusive and engaged community where every alum feels at home.

Your New Alumni Center

One of the most exciting projects as part of The Rebel Way is the construction of a state-of-the-art alumni center, set to be the premier hub for current students and alumni alike. Imagine a space where you can return to campus, reconnect with old friends, attend exclusive events and enjoy access to member-only facilities. The new alumni center will serve as the beating heart of our engagement efforts and a vibrant community center for Rebels of all ages.
