The Content Management System

The Content Management System (CMS) is a home-grown web-based application that helps us add, edit and change content to the web site it allows for limitless growth and development of our web site, framed within a unified look and feel. The CMS also allows us to quickly and easily adjust the entire web site's look-and-feel with a few quick changes.

The CMS was designed by the developer who created our site and then improved and extended by IT. This site offeres some documentation of the program and how its parts work. As functionality is added and changed, this help section will grow with the CMS.

Spring Term at Alma is a one-month immersion on a single academic topic that offers learning experiences not typically available during the more traditional 15-week fall and winter terms. For example, during Spring Term ‘07 students explored important cultural sites in China, worked to restore a Jewish Holocaust cemetery in Poland, analyzed ethic politics in Scotland, and studied medieval literature in London.
