Getting Involved
The alumni office offers many ways for alumni to get involved, such as becoming a class agent. There aren’t always enough alumni in a particular area to support an event, so we rely on alumni volunteers to join us as official ambassadors. Lancers contacts are the link between the alumni office, the Academy, and the people in their communities. Lancers contacts are alumni scattered throughout the world who want to host SJNMA activities in their area. Academy graduates can serve as volunteer recruiters and help our enrollment office to expand their quest for outstanding students both in the United States and throughout the world.
