AdviseMI Alumni
Our AdviseMI alumni have gone on to do great things, and many of them have chosen to stay within the field of college access. After their service with AdviseMI, they have pursued graduate school, worked in the field of higher education, continued working in schools, and entered the private sector, among many other opportunities and pathways. This network of alumni continues to be resources for each other and current advisers. The alumni shown below are primarily advisers from the 2019-20 and 2020-21 school years.
