Frank Knox’s accomplishments are extraordinary: From fighting alongside Teddy Roosevelt and the Rough Riders and publishing the Chicago Daily News vice presidential candidate in 1936 to Secretary of the Navy under Franklin D. Roosevelt. Through it all, the 1912 graduate stayed true to his Alma College roots. His portrait adorns the conference room in the Reid-Knox Administration Building.

 

Graduate Profile

Geoff Clark

Geoff Clark
Graduation: 2010
Major: Music Education

A music teacher in Alaska, Geoff Clark is a 2010 graduate who already recognizes the many ways his Alma College education has benefited him both inside and outside the classroom.

“Alma pushed me to think beyond the box, and I learned the value of being on top of your subject,” he says. “The music department pushes students to do their best and expects nothing less of them, much like my job. Thanks to Alma, I was more prepared to adapt to living in Alaska and teaching in a state that I had never been to.”
