ALUMNI

Since decades alumni societies have existed at universities in the United States. There is a long tradition of alumni societies and thanks to these societies alumni have the chance to stay in contact with their university and with former fellow students as well as to make use of the offers for professional and scientific further education. Universities which involve their alumni in scientific research and further education as well as in cultural and social activities, have the possibility to benefit from the experience in order to gain new impulses to improve research, teaching and university culture.

The Alumni Association is open to former MHBN Cadre, Staff and Cadets - to include the Battalion's newly commissioned 2nd Lieutenants! The Association is also open to the friends and supporters of the Battalion past and present and requires no payment of dues or fees to participate. However, if you are moved to contribute time, treasure and/or other resources to the Cadets, there will be many opportunities that one can pursue to ensure the success of our program and our current Cadets.
