Students conducting research side-by-side with faculty has been an Alma legacy for generations. Alma students team up with faculty on scholarly research or to collaborate on creative or performing arts projects. An annual Honors Day features student presentations, performances and exhibits. Many students present such work at regional, national and international meetings.

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.
