Each year, the Alumni Council organizes MILE II, a personal and career development day, which brings approximately 80 Scholars and Alumni together. The Alumni Council is also responsible for encouraging the creation and growth of local campus organizations and reconnecting with and providing opportunities for Alumni to stay involved with the Mitchell Institute.
