Alma College was born on Oct. 14, 1886. George F. Hunting was appointed the College’s first president and professor of moral and mental science. The College’s founding was made possible by Ammi W. Wright, a lumberman, businessman and civic leader who gave 30 acres of land and more than $300,000 to found and sustain the institution in its early years.

 

Student Profile

Alexandra Woodburne

Alexandra Woodburne
Graduation: 2015
Major: Elementary Education

Always up for a challenge, Grand Rapids sophomore Alexandra Woodburne began dancing ballet in high school and quickly fell in love with the precision it required.

“I really like the cleanness of the ballet style,” she says. “Everything needs to be placed just so, especially on pointe. If the angle of your head is off, everything else will be off as well. Because of that challenge, I find it so rewarding. It’s easy to see yourself improving.”
