Alumni Can’t Get Enough of the Mount

Luke McKnightThe beginning of a new school year marks a time when many new students and staff members alike are drawn to the Mount. This year, Alumni Mike Walsh and Luke McKnight both decided to donate a year of their time to help out and see what it’s really like at Mount Michael “from the other side of the fence”.

Luke McKnight is a graduate of Mount Michael’s class of 1999. After graduating he enrolled at Saint Louis University where he majored in Physics. While attending Saint Louis University he studied in Spain for a semester. This year he returns to Mount Michael to become the assistant freshman dean. So, what brought him back to the Mount? “I just really missed the place; I had a great time when I was here.” Mr. McKnight is planning on attending med school after his stay at Mount Michael.

Mike Walsh is also a 1999 graduate of Mount Michael. After Mr. Walsh graduated from the Mount he attended Creighton University where he majored in Physics. After graduating from Creighton, Mr. Walsh decided it was finally time to settle down and get engaged. Mr. Walsh and his fiance will marry next summer.

What made Mr. Walsh decide to come back? “I really needed a break before I set off for grad school, plus, I thought it was my turn to give something back to the school that has given me so much.” When Mr. Walsh finishes his year here at Mount Michael, he plans on going to grad school and hopes to be accepted into M.I.T. or the University of Texas. - Séan Cox
