The Miner Alumni Association was organized in 1921 and publishes the Missouri S&T Magazine (formerly the MSM Alumnus). Alumni and other professionals also support the institution through discipline-specific academics which elect members for contributions to their professions and to the campus. These S&T groups serve an advisory role and include the Academy of Chemical Engineers, the Academy of Civil Engineers, the Academy of Computer Science, the Academy of Electrical and Computer Engineering, the Academy of Engineering Management, the Academy of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineers, the Academy of Miner Athletics, and the Mines and Metallurgy Academy.
