Student Profile

Justin Rito

Justin Rito
Graduation: 2008
Major: Music

Justin Rito was drawn to the music department at Alma College by the faculty and their commitment to engage their students.

“The quality of my education outside of my field was important to me as well, but the biggest draw to Alma for me was the music faculty,” the Grosse Ile senior says. “They are not only knowledgeable and well-respected within their respective fields, but they are approachable and willing to work with undergraduate students on a personal level.”
