The NSU Alumni Association exists to promote the interests and welfare of NSU through lifelong commitment and support by its alumni and friends. The Association promotes positive interactions between the University and through a variety of activities, events, services, and communication. All graduates, former students, and others interested in NSU are eligible for membership in the NSU Alumni Association. The Branscum Alumni Center name honors the primary contributor, Gene Branscum, '56, former president of Gott Corporation. Northeastern State University's Alumni Association, Foundation, and Office of Development and Alumni Services are housed in the beautiful Branscum Alumni Center, which was completed in 1989. The 8,500 square-foot structure was funded entirely with donations from alumni and friends of NSU. The Alumni Center is located in Tahlequah at 812 N. Cedar Avenue.
