CourtyardYou have a new home on MSSU's campus. It's the Ralph L. Gray Alumni Center in the Mission Hills Mansion and you can play an important role in the restoration of this historic building on campus.

The Alumni Courtyard, located adjacent to the Fountain Room serves as the location for receptions, pre-game tailgate parties and other outdoor events for alumni, faculty, staff, and friends.

For a gift of $100 per brick, you can cement your legacy and support of the MSSU Alumni Association directly as a part of the Alumni Courtyard. It's a fitting way to commemorate your lifelong connection to MSSU. Celebrate a graduate... Honor a family legacy... Remember a loved one... Acknowledge a student organization...
Your $100 tax deductible contribution will include your inscription on a premium-quality brick. Each engraved character will be filled with black epoxy for legibility.

Favorite Recipes

CookbookA collection by Missouri Southern State University Staff Cookbook.

The idea of this cookbook originated from a conversation at a staff pot-luck lunch. As everyone was enjoying the delicious dishes prepared that day, a suggestion was made to create a cookbook. We thought a Staff cookbook would be a terrific way for Southern employees to share some of their favorite recipes with others and that the proceeds of the book sales could go towards funding a worthwhile campus project.The cookbook is only $10.00.

A committee was formed and unanimously agreed that they wanted to contribute to the Mansion renovation project. The contribution would make a positive impact on the culture and tradition of our University. The committee believed this would be a meaningful way to help give something back to the campus community.

The money earned from the sales of this cookbook is helping to buy period pieces of furniture for the Ralph L. Gray Alumni Center.
