Graduate Profile

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.
