Join us on campus for Discover More at MoWest Day on October 24. This is the perfect opportunity for potential future Griffons to experience life at MoWest. Those in attendance will engage current students, take a campus tour, meet their future faculty, and cheer on Griffon Football at a game. Did we mention that any senior who attends Discover More and then enrolls in either Spring 2026 or Fall 2026 is eligible for a $500 one-time scholarship? Don’t miss it!

We opened a time capsule from 1990 during our Founder’s Day celebration. Be sure to visit the MoWest Library during Homecoming week to take a deeper look at what life was like on campus 30+ years ago. You can also check out a digitized version of the VHS tape found inside on YouTube.

We did not let the rain deter us from having a great Family Day. A morning of activities gave way for a fantastic Griffon Football team win! View and download free pictures from this exciting day on our SmugMug.
