Graduate Profile: Elizabeth Saylor

Elizabeth Saylor knew she wanted to major in exercise and health science and Alma attracted her with its reputation and cadaver lab.

“I wanted to go somewhere that had small class sizes but still offered lots of opportunities,” the 2008 graduate says. “At Alma, I am able to not only learn all of the facts I need to go on in EHS, but also to acquire a good grasp of the big picture - how ’health’ really encompasses so many different things.”

Once she finishes graduate school, Saylor would like to work with children who have developmental disabilities.

“All the one-on-one experience I’ve had in all of the EHS lab settings will be very useful to me as I go on to graduate school,” she says.

Saylor was a member of the Alma Choir and Sigma Alpha Iota (the women’s music fraternity). She also was the secretary of the EHS honor society, the student supervisor for the main switchboard, and worked at the Alma Middle School with the Explore Program.
