Currently the youngest member of The Founders Society for the Crooms AoIT Alumni Association, James "Brock" Mangus also claims a unique connection. Brock – as a Class of 2007 graduate – also happens to be the first recipient of the Alumni Association's Community Scholarship. Brock moved to Central Florida during his elementary school years when his father started a job in the metro area.

Teaser: 


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.
