College Ambassador Program

If you are in College, we know where you are in life…and if you aren’t currently in college, we know you still remember what it was like.  Remember when you ate cold pizza the morning after a memorable night with friends?  When you had to pull an all-nighter to get that last minute cramming in?  When going skiing, hiking, or just about ANYTHING sounded much more fun that being in class? 

College students all over the world love Mountain Khakis just as much as they do the outdoors and we couldn’t be more proud of our top notch College Ambassadors.  With this said, take a look at the collection of individuals listed below that we are proud to say are part of the Mountain Khakis College “Bad Ass”ador program. 

 

 

 

We are proud to announce the College Ambassador Program for Fall 2009!  We are really excited to get this program launched and to spread the MK love amongst the college community.
