Faculty Profile

Dr. Laura von Wallmenich
Departments: English, American Studies

Laura von Wallmenich knew Alma College was the right fit as soon as she stepped on campus for her interview.

The assistant professor of English and chair of the American Studies program earned her undergraduate degree from Colby College, so she knew she wanted to work in a small liberal arts atmosphere.
