Alumni are encouraged to serve as experts for or mentors to students in a variety of academic pursuits. For example, all seniors are required to complete one of two academic capstone programs before they graduate—MAPS (Mercersburg’s Advanced Program for Global Studies) and Springboard. Alumni serve as mentors to MAPS students, offer their places of business for Springboard class tours, and serve on the panels that evaluate students’ year-end presentations.
