From the Prokick community
“One of the greatest parts of Prokick has always been the people and the stories. I’m excited to see current and past alumni stay connected through Fifth Quarter Advisory, thanks to Danny, Chris and Blake. It’s a brilliant initiative that celebrates friendships, shared experiences, and the lifelong network that makes Prokick so special. We want to give those Prokick students who want to stay close to the people and the program, experienced references to use who’ve been there before you and done it, so if you have a question before, during and after college, about life, ideas or what comes next then the Prokick family is there for you.”
