Alumni Association
A continuing connection between Unity Urban Ministerial School graduates, students, and the school that brought them together.
Our story
A place to stay connected
The UUMS Alumni Association began as a final project for the school’s 2017 graduates and interns, initiated by Executive Director Rev. Sandra Campbell. It has grown into a community serving the school, its students, and graduates throughout their coursework and ministries.
Open to UUMS graduates, the association brings former classmates together to stay involved in alumni affairs and carry forward the work begun by school founder Rev. Dr. Ruth Mosley.
Its mission is to foster ongoing connection, communication, and support between students and graduates so all may flourish in ministry.
