A glimpse of fall color on Alma's beautiful campus.
Trees have a special significance at Alma. For example, our logo features a pinecone representing courage, resolution and the renewal of life. In addition, the group Students United for Nature is working hard to raise money to buy enough species to make Alma the tree capital among the nation's college campuses. We have more than 100 tree species on our campus, and we want to add more. It's all part of what makes Alma's campus setting truly beautiful. In the spring, summer and fall, hundreds of trees are in full bloom or in radiant colors. Besides its natural beauty, the campus features 26 major buildings surrounding a scenic central mall. Residence halls and athletic playing fields are located around the perimeter of the campus. Students are only a five-minute walk from downtown shops, parks and eateries. And because we are located in the heart of Michigan, you are only an hour's drive away from additional recreational, cultural and entertainment opportunities in Midland, Saginaw, Lansing and Grand Rapids.
