Student Profile: Taylor Erwin

Taylor Erwin started at Alma College majoring in business administration, but decided to add an art major in the middle of her junior year.

“I've always enjoyed art, designing and creating, and that's when I decided just a business degree wasn't enough for me,” the Fenton senior says. “I wanted to have more choices coming out of school and have the ability to pursue careers that I'd enjoy.”

Erwin was attracted to Alma because of its academic reputation and hopes to someday own her own business.

“I feel my art major will help me with creativity and aesthetics and to gain experience using different mediums and time management,” she says.

Erwin is involved in the Center for Responsible Leadership and Pine River Anthology literary magazine. She also plays softball and works in the athletic offices for the football coaches.

“Art has allowed me to use my creativity, learn quality design, get hands on experience and enjoy my homework!” she says.

 

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.”
