Alumni have long been inspired by the legacy of Kin Takahashi, who embodied a spirit of service to his college and community. Maryville College hosts several events honoring his legacy and providing alumni opportunities to serve both their college and their communities. Learn more about these annual events and make plans to join your fellow alumni!
KT Global
KT Global is Maryville College’s annual world-wide month of service, inspired by Kin Takahashi. The alumni-driven initiative calls on MC alumni and friends to unite worldwide and participate in volunteer projects in their own communities. Projects include litter pickup in neighborhoods, volunteering with animal shelters, preparing and serving meals to those in need, and work on the MC campus through KT Weekend, among many others. Learn more about KT Global and get ready to celebrate our sixth year of service in April 2026.
Serve from wherever you are!
Kin Takahashi Days
KT Days brings alumni of all generations back to campus each summer to share sweat equity with their friends and classmates in the spirit of Kin Takahashi. Alumni volunteers complete service projects resulting in valuable improvements to the surroundings on our historic campus. Projects include but are not limited to landscaping, light carpentry, College Woods invasive species removal, cleaning, and memorabilia archival, among others. But more than service projects, this event is a reunion of sorts – friends and classmates joining together in fun and fellowship, making new friends and relishing the old. Save the date for June 9-11, 2026.
