Remembering our dear friend and colleague, Mikie, on what would have been his birthday. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the Red, White, & Blue Memorial Scholarship fund, supporting student travelers. Share your 'Mikie' outfit in the comments to honor him today.

09/13/2024

Two weeks ago, we shared the news of the passing of a cherished member of our STA family, Mikie Jauregui, on Thursday, August 29th. Mikie was not only a true friend, but also a dedicated STA Group Leader, Tour Representative, and passionate patriot. Over the years, he made a profound impact on countless students, leading numerous tours to Washington, D.C. and New York City, and ensuring that each experience was memorable and meaningful.

As a Group Leader and STA Tour Representative, Mikie was a person everyone could depend on—his presence was a constant source of joy and support. Group Leaders and students alike looked forward to seeing him year after year, and his absence will be deeply felt by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

To honor Mikie’s legacy and his commitment to student travel, we have established the "Mikie J. Red, White, and Blue Memorial Scholarship Fund." This scholarship will help provide students with the same life-changing travel opportunities that Mikie was so passionate about. Below, you will find a link to donate in his memory. For those who knew him well, you’ll remember how important it was to him that every student had the chance to experience travel through fundraising. Mikie worked tirelessly to ensure that each student had the resources to fully fund their trips, believing deeply in the power of these experiences.

We have also created a Tribute Video to celebrate Mikie’s life. We hope you will take a moment to watch and reflect on the many memories and moments that made his life so special.

In honor of Mikie, we invite you to join us in wearing RED, WHITE, and BLUE on Monday, September 16th — what would have been his 74th birthday. These colors, which Mikie so proudly wore, are a fitting tribute to his patriotic spirit and a meaningful way to remember our dear friend and colleague.

Thank you for joining us in celebrating Mikie's incredible legacy.

Warm regards,
Frank Harvey and the STA Family

It is with heavy hearts we wanted to share that one of our most beloved and passionate tour escorts, Mike Jauregui, passed away yesterday.

If you were lucky enough to witness Mikie changing the lives of thousands of students on tour, you could see that he was a natural. Mikie was one of the funniest, most caring individuals on this earth that would give you the shirt off his back, even if it was his favorite USA flag shirt. If he wasn’t busy inviting you to his house in Montana, he was asking to buy you a drink or a meal. Rest easy, Mikie.

We will post updates as service details become available.

In the meantime, we welcome you to share any memories or photos of Mikie that you may have.

Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers.
