KEYNOTE SPEAKER ANNOUNCEMENT
JERMO REESE
PEP State Coordinator & Animal Science Instructor
Michigan State University Cooperative Extension
College Pathways Network is excited to welcome Jermo Reese as the Keynote Speaker for Super Saturday 2026!
“Your Pathway Starts Today”
Jermo will open Super Saturday with an inspiring message encouraging students to recognize that their future isn't something that simply happens—it is something they begin building today.
Through his work with Michigan State University Cooperative Extension, Michigan 4-H, and the Proud Equestrians Program, Jermo combines his passion for youth development, education, leadership, career exploration, and creating meaningful hands-on learning opportunities for young people.
His philosophy that “exposure is the gateway to a young person's potential” perfectly reflects the mission of Super Saturday: giving students and families the information, resources, connections, and confidence they need to take their next step.
Your pathway doesn't start when you get to college. It starts TODAY.
