    Tuesday, March 13th 2007, 7:00pm In MJJ Smith Room (Library)

    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.

 

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."

 

Graduate Profile

Amanda Leppek
Graduation: 2006
Major: Spanish and Sociology
Minor: Psychology

Amanda Leppek knew she wanted to perfect her Spanish, and realized the only way to do this would be to study in a Spanish-speaking country.

“The Spanish program in particular was definitive for my Alma, and more broadly my college, experience because of my time spent studying abroad,” the 2006 graduate says.
