Frank Knox’s accomplishments are extraordinary: From fighting alongside Teddy Roosevelt and the Rough Riders and publishing the Chicago Daily News vice presidential candidate in 1936 to Secretary of the Navy under Franklin D. Roosevelt. Through it all, the 1912 graduate stayed true to his Alma College roots. His portrait adorns the conference room in the Reid-Knox Administration Building.

30 Hour Famine

30 Hour Famine

Students at Alma College are starving to make a difference. They organized the 30 Hour Famine, an international youth movement sponsored by World Vision International, to raise money for food, clean water and other resources for impoverished people in developing countries. The students fasted for 30 hours to experience the hunger that a billion people in the world experience daily.
