Club 180

Our goal:

To be the first college program that is completely self-sustaining. This means that no Maryville College tuition dollars will go to fund Mountain Challenge – all money to operate the program will come from the business side of Mountain Challenge or alumni.

 

That’s a lofty goal, we know. But we climb mountains. We paddle class 4 rapids. We sleep outside in tents in freezing temperatures. We ride our bicycles over 100 miles in one day. Reaching lofty goals is what we do.

 

The Mountain Challenge Alumni Association was established in 2016 in order to achieve this goal.

 

What will your money go toward?

The enhancement, operation and continuation of student experiences. Experiences that change people and change lives.
