Scottish Heritage

In the more than 100 years since its founding, Alma has stayed true to its roots by keeping its Scottish heritage alive.

Alma offers a music class in the Scottish arts, a Scottish arts’ scholarship and a study abroad program with the University of Aberdeen, Scotland.

The College also features a marching band clad in kilts, a Scottish dance troupe and even its own official tartan!

Each year, the College hosts the Alma Highland Festival, which features traditional Scottish revelry and games.

Every other year the College also hosts the Robert Burns dinner, which celebrates the life of Scotland’s best known poet.

We are the Scots!

 

The Alma College Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) team claimed its ninth consecutive regional championship at the SIFE USA Regional Competition in March 2009. The competition awards the SIFE teams that are most effective in teaching the principals of market economics through outreach projects in their communities.
