Give me an
To all unto whom these presents may come, Greetings:
‘M’
by John Kean (jkean@mst.edu)
At the start of each school year, when Missouri S&T’s
athletic teams gather for their annual NCAA compliance and
informational meeting, director of athletics Mark Mullin opens
the meeting by talking about his expectations for the
student-athletes in the program.
Mullin covers a number of topics in his remarks,
including academics, sportsmanship and one that some may
not immediately attach to athletics — service. It is an area that
he puts a strong emphasis on with the student-athletes in the
Miner program.
“Communities would not survive without the work of
others,” Mullin says. “You need volunteers and people ÿ nding
the time to help, so one of the things I always want to emphasize
with our student-athletes is to get involved in service projects and
to be someone who can make a difference.”
The M-Club at Missouri S&T gives students that opportunity.
Be it known that on the tenth day of January, 1939, the Faculty of Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy approved the constitution
of the “M” Club as a service club on the campus of the School of Mines and thereby established the club. It is hereby certifi ed that
those whose names appear below were on the above date members of the “M” Club and therefore its charter members.
— As stated on the charter establishing the M-Club; the document (above) hangs on the wall in the athletics offi ce on campus.
