A student practices defending herself from Dr. Piccolo...or is it the other way around?
Instructors demonstrate techniques for the students.
Alma College received a $150,000 grant from the National Science Foundation in August 2009 for research that could eventually lead to the development of more effective drugs to treat and prevent certain kinds of influenza, including human infections of swine and avian flu. "This project provides an opportunity for students to get involved in important laboratory research," says faculty member Jeff Turk, principal investigator.
Shannon Garrett
Graduation: 1994
Major: Philosophy
Minor: Women’s Studies
Shannon Garrett was the first person to graduate from Alma with a women’s studies minor. Her interest in women’s issues stemmed from a freshman-year feminist philosophy course.
“The class was life-altering and legitimized the feelings of gender bias I’d experienced growing up,” the 1994 graduate says.
