Farmington First features alumni and campus news, as well as extensive class notes. Farmington First is published three times a year (fall, winter and spring) by UMF’s Ferro Alumni Center, and is mailed to more than 12,000 alumni, friends, faculty and staff of the University.

Got news? We invite you to share milestones, including (but not limited to) new jobs, academic and honorary degrees, weddings, civil unions, commitment ceremonies, births, honors and awards. Submissions of high-resolution digital images for posting on the "alumni galleries" page of the UMF Alumni Website are welcome. Please send your class note information and electronic images to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it . As always, we welcome lots of information about the photos you submit, so please let us know the who, what, where, when and why so we can accurately caption your photos for the online alumni gallery.
