Farewell SEMO

Alas, your years at college have come and gone, and now it's time to truly spread your wings and soar. As you prepare to graduate and say farewell to SEMO, don't forget these things!

It's always hard to say goodbye to some of the best years of our lives, but SEMO has always been a launch pad for our students. We hope you've had some of the best times of your lives here with us, and we bid you a fond farewell as you leave the nest and go out into the world and make us proud.

As you go, however, don't forget us! We have a huge community of alumni across the nation and the globe, and we would love nothing more than for you to stay in touch. Check in and tell us know you're doing, find and attend alumni events, and keep that SEMO spirit burning bright.

Graduation

Before you can walk across that Show Me Center stage and receive your diploma, there are some steps you need to take to make that happen. Be sure to apply for graduation, order your cap and gown, and fill in family who cannot attend, where to watch live, online!

    Stay Involved

    Graduation doesn't have to be the end of coming home to SEMO. You may move away, but you can still be involved! Homecoming, alumni events, newsletters, and more, the network you built during your years with us is never out of reach.
