RMU Alumni Association
The RMU Alumni Association provides the opportunity for alumni, students, and friends to continue a lifelong connection with RMU through learning, networking, and community.
Support RMU
Thank you for supporting the students and mission of Robert Morris University. By giving to RMU, you're inspiring others to invest not just in the lives of our students, but also in the prosperity of our region as a whole. Your gift is one that will truly change lives for the better.
Your Gift Matters
When you support RMU, you help to make a college degree more accessible, through scholarships that let students focus on their studies rather than on how to make ends meet. You also help to make every RMU degree more valuable, by raising the university’s stature in national rankings of alumni engagement.
