From business and medicine to law and technology, St. Mark’s graduates have distinguished themselves across the professional landscape. Just before Thanksgiving Break, several of these accomplished Marksmen returned to 10600 Preston Road to offer advice and guidance to current students. The Student Alumni Association hosted members of the Alumni Board’s Mentor & Networking Committee representing four unique career fields to meet with Upper School students, share their experiences, and answer questions.
“St. Mark’s had a profound impact on my life, both personally and professionally, so giving back through mentoring students is the least I can do,” said Nick Cassavechia ’04, Chair of the Mentor & Networking Committee. “Every time I return to campus and reconnect with the faculty, staff, and student body, I am reminded how special this place is.”
