This first annual luncheon gathering of MPA’s Parents of Alumni was a hit with over 35 attending! “As one of the newest groups at MPA we are blazing a trail to stay connected to faculty, staff, and each other after our children graduate from MPA,” shared Parents of Alumni organizer, Chris Levesque from the Class of 2013.

Attendees shared with each other where their graduates have studied and where their careers have taken them. “It was so exciting to hear where MPA graduates are working including at companies like Google and Johnson & Johnson and their study abroad destinations like Argentina, Australia, and Japan. Their success is the ultimate fulfillment of their time at MPA and the result of their well-rounded preparation for the future,” said Chris.

I am pleased to greet you halfway through the 2015-2016 school year. Since I arrived at MPA, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting and working with dozens of MPA’s dedicated staff and faculty as well as MPA students, who are among the brightest and most confident young people I’ve met. In addition, it has been a joy for me to spend a great deal of time with our loyal MPA parents and alumni, whose Panther pride illustrates the spirit and distinctiveness of MPA.
