It’s true, our alumni are an entrepreneurial bunch!
But did you know our alumni are also generous and community-minded?
MK Blanket Wraps is an organization near and dear to Michele Reynolds’ heart (Class of 2008). Two teenage girls, Mackenzie and Kate, saw a need and stepped up to the challenge. Since 2016, they have sewn and distributed OVER 1000 Blanket Wraps and basic supplies to those vulnerably-housed.
And…their dad, Alex Martin, is a MSU Alumnus, Class of 1995.
