Historical Note:

The Jefferson Club was founded in 1970 as an "organizational activity of the Development Fund of the University of Missouri." Membership is open to alumni and friends of the University. There are four stated purposes of this organization, which include stimulating interest and commitment to the University and encouraging "substantial annual and deferred gifts." The name of the organization is derived from the many connections between the University of Missouri and Thomas Jefferson.
