Our Founders

James "Brock" Mangus - Class of 2007

The Founders' Society Class

Class 3 - FY2021-2022

It’s important for those alumni that have the means to give back to do so. It’s also pretty cool to be in a position to be a strong contributor to an organization. The Founders Society – at its core – is 10 folks that directly give back to the students at Crooms AoIT. We believe in the support we’re providing [to current students] and it’s an opportunity for us to demonstrate that belief. Indirectly, it’s also an opportunity to help perpetuate the financial support the Alumni Association provides and help it become self-sustaining. Ultimately, The Founders Society is a sign that we have a strong core of like-minded people that want to see Crooms AoIT succeed.
