Graduate Profile: Sarah Dempsey
Sarah Dempsey found her passion for communication at Alma. She is now an assistant professor of organizational communication at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
"The faculty members in the communication department at Alma were very engaging and were teaching interesting things," the 1999 graduate says. "I especially remember attending a fabulous informational session about the major that was run by Professor Joanne Gilbert. I left her session convinced about taking courses in communication and eventually decided to pursue a major in communication."
Dempsey was attracted to Alma by its liberal arts curriculum and the opportunity to take classes from several different departments. While at Alma, she worked in the public relations office and was a member of Kappa Iota, a social sorority.
