Award-winning German Writer Helga Schütz came to Alma College to speak about her personal experience with the Berlin Wall that went through her backyard, her struggle and success as a writer under the East-German censorship and the aftermath of Germany’s unification…

The event (in English) was sponsored by Goethe-Institut/Chicago, Department of Modern Languages and the Co-Curricular Affairs Committee.

 

Alma’s “green” residence hall, Wright Hall, was completed in January 2005. The modern, 60-bed apartment-style hall features a number of environmentally friendly features, including geothermal heating and cooling, recycled-content ceiling tiles and carpeting, energy-efficient windows, rooftop solar heating panels, energy-efficient showers and washing machines, and a computerized energy monitoring system.
