Before summer slips away, we have to shout out Jacky and Emellie, two graduates, Kalamazoo Promise Scholars, and proud members of the MAS family who gave so much to this campus and made the most of every moment.
 
At MAS, we are here to celebrate you, support you, and remind you that you belong here. Watching you two thrive and cross that finish line means everything. So incredibly proud of everything you have accomplished.
