ST. LOUIS, Mo. — Missouri Baptist University Athletics has announced a new partnership with Athlete Network from Gravyty to launch the Spartan Athletics Alumni Network, a private online community for former MBU student-athletes.

The Spartan Athletics Alumni Network is launching exclusively for MBU's former student-athletes, providing a centralized space to reconnect with teammates, engage with MBU Athletics and its current programs, and stay connected with coaches and the broader Spartan community.

The platform is designed to help former Spartans reconnect with teammates, stay in touch with MBU Athletics, and connect with alumni across all sports and generations in one central space.

"Being a Spartan doesn't end when your playing days are over. This network is about keeping our former student-athletes connected to the teammates, coaches, and memories that made their time at MBU special," said Kevin Paulus, Assistant Athletic Director for External Operations.

Through the platform, former student-athletes will be able to reconnect with teammates and coaches, engage with fellow alumni, receive exclusive updates, event invitations, and discounts, and stay informed on reunions, game day events, and MBU Athletics news.

"We are excited to partner with Athlete Network from Gravyty to bring our Spartan family back together and create new opportunities for our alumni to stay engaged and involved with MBU Athletics," said Paulus.

Former student-athletes have received an email with instructions on how to activate their accounts and join the platform. If you are a former MBU student-athlete and did not receive an email, you can also visit https://www.athletenetwork.com/network/spartansalumninetwork to create and activate their account.
