Directors: Dr. Tremon Kizer & Mr. Dave Schreier
Mentorship Program
Established by the Marching Knights Alumni Chapter in 2018, the Marching Knights Mentorship Program plans to foster meaningful relationships between Marching Knights alumni and current Marching Knights students. The program provides alumni with the opportunity to give back to their alma mater, expand their network and enhance their resume, while supporting the educational and professional development and experience of current MK students. The program is specifically designed and coordinated by the Marching Knights Alumni Chapter Board of volunteers. It is our belief that student enthusiasm and alumni support are crucial to the continued success and advancement of this mentorship program.
Mentorship program HandbookResearch has proven that mentorship programs elevate and advance people in their profession, education, and organizations. The MK Mentorship program is an amazing opportunity for current students to connect with MK alumni who serve in professions our students aspire to be in. This wonderful program creates pathways and furthers the connections between our students and alumni.
