Mentor Program running strong - Command and General Staff College Foundation, Inc.

Mentors and students gather for a group photo at the recent CGSC Mentor Program event at the Jowler Creek Vinyard and Winery in Platte City, Missouri, Sept. 12.

The CGSC Mentor Program conducted its second social networking event at Jowler Creek Vinyard and Winery in the afternoon of Sept. 12, 2025.

Approximately 20 students, mentors, and family members gathered at vineyard, some coming from as far away as Fort Huachuca, Arizona. Both the program leaders and the students say they are fortunate many CGSC alumni are willing to participate in this program.

The mentors and mentees enjoyed great discussions on many subjects ranging from writing for their master’s degrees or one of many other writing assignments, to buying a house or an RV.

The event was supported by the CGSC Foundation and Alumni Association. Angela Remington from the Leavenworth First Command office graciously provided snacks and beverages. She spoke for a few minutes about the ways First Command financial planners can help military families achieve their financial goals and feel prepared for retirement.
