As part of Webster University’s ongoing commitment to shaping its future, we invite you to participate in a critical survey on Mission Alignment. This survey will help assess and update our mission, vision and core values—the foundation that guides Webster’s strategic and operational goals.

Your voice is essential in ensuring that Webster remains aligned with its purpose and continues to meet the diverse needs of our global community. We encourage you to join the Mission Alignment discussions and share your unique perspectives on the values, vision and purpose that will shape Webster University's future.

Please note, due date for the survey is Wednesday, October 23.

Webster University’s Alumni Board of Directors is here to be a resource for you. Our members come from various backgrounds and have extensive experience in their respective fields. The Board works to articulate University information to alumni, in addition to offering opportunities for personal and professional growth to foster relationships among alumni, students and faculty.

If you would like to connect with any of the Board members, please reach out to Senior Director of Alumni Relations Kelly Dopman.

Late on the evening of October 7, a fire tore through an apartment building in Shrewsbury, Missouri. Out of the 30 people displaced by the fire, 18 are current Webster students. Thankfully, all of them safely evacuated the building without injury, however, it has become clear that some students had lost everything and only escaped the blaze with the clothes on their backs. 

Webster is asking for the community’s help in providing the students with further assistance. The Gorloks Now! crowdfunding campaign, which was started to meet emergency needs during the pandemic, is being restructured for this crisis. Donations can be made directly to the fund. 

A Clothing & Essentials Collection Drive for the students was held on October 14 and saw an outstanding community response. Check out the Fox 2 Now feature on the drive.
