Mount
Alum
co-founds Non-Profit
Jackie Pitts, C’01, has recently been appointed Director of Community Outreach for Books and Basketball Inc., a non profit organization. The program, which divides participant time equally between small-group athletic coaching and one-on-one tutoring and homework assistance, looks to provide students with an environment that advances their scholastic and athletic skills while working with strong and dedicated adult role models. Books and Basketball combines athletics and academics to produce high achievement and positive social development for youth ages 8-14 and leadership development for young adults, ages 15-18.
Jackie is also responsible for the design and maintenance of www.booksandbasketballinc.org, the organization's official website. Her experience working with children includes: four summers as a tennis instructor for the USTA youth camp in Gaithersburg MD, one semester as the tennis instructor for Montgomery Community College, MD, and two summers as a Youth Counselor for the International Mountain camp in Austria. Jackie graduated from the Mount in 2001 with a Bachelors of Science in Business and is presently working on her Masters in Business Administration. She currently works for SAG Corporation, an economics firm in

that assists private businesses and government agencies with economic analysis and software development.
