Student Profile: Scott Casey
Scott Casey started studying German in high school and feels fortunate he can continue the opportunity at Alma College.
“I figured I had found a fun and perhaps lucrative skill, so I stuck with it,” the Trenton junior says. “I feel I've benefited greatly from Alma's German program. The curriculum is very interesting to me, and it's helped me to learn a great deal about Germany's language, history and culture.”
An English minor, Casey is exploring the many career options his German major has opened up, including teaching and translation. In addition, he plans to study in Germany during the summer of 2008.
"I feel I've benefited greatly from Alma's German program. The curriculum is very interesting to me, and it's helped me to learn a great deal about Germany's language, history and culture."
He was drawn to Alma by the friendly atmosphere and people.
“What brought me to the College was its secure, warm atmosphere,” he says. “I had the chance to talk with very friendly administrators and professorial staff, and that brought me here.”
Casey is involved in the German Club and the tutoring program.
