Newberry Hall

Newberry also houses the offices of the Almanian, the campus student newspaper.

Every residence hall has a lobby, study lounge, computer lab and laundry facilities. The Hall is staffed by student resident assistants and a postgraduate hall director.

The beach volleyball court outside of Newberry Hall is referred to by students as Newberry Beach. When the weather gets warmer in the spring, the students take advantage of this feature. Games are played constantly during spring term.

Newberry is named in honor of Helen Newberry Joy, who made several gifts to Alma College during her lifetime. The building was constructed after her death in 1961

The Alma College Percussion Ensemble performed at the prestigious Centrum Jazz Festival, an international festival in Port Townsend, Wash., in July 2007. Alma was the only college group invited to perform. "It's a huge honor," says faculty director Dave Zerbe. "You can't apply to perform there; they seek you out."

Spring Term courses offer students opportunities to break out of the “Alma Bubble.” Off-campus study, especially in a foreign country, shows you how you relate to the rest of the world and how the rest of the world views American people, politics and policies. You can then integrate your real world experiences into your academic programs and your future career.
