To prepare for MacCurdy's role as a temporary safe house on the Alma College campus, the residents must receive training at the start of each academic year. Toni Davis, from Women's Aid Inc., provides a day of training in domestic/dating violence, crisis intervention, and local referrals.
Members of the Kappa Iota sorority also participate in the training and assist in staffing the house.
Since 2003, twenty-three Alma College students have won prestigious national fellowships, scholarships and awards, including 13 Fulbright fellowships and multiple Udall, Truman, Marshall and Gates-Cambridge scholarships.

Graduation: 2008
Major: Theatre and English
Minor: Women's Studies
Rebecca Peacock has two majors in addition to her Women's Studies minor. Thanks to her Alma experience, she will graduate in four years with an opportunity to study in almost every department on campus.
"Without the Women's Studies program, I would have missed out on classes that were outside of my Theatre or English majors."
