Student Profile: Brandon Smith

Brandon Smith hopes his interest in the human body combined with his major in exercise and health science will earn him a spot in medical school in the fall of 2008.

“The Exercise and Health Science Department at Alma has classes that focus on function in physiology, structure in anatomy and even pathology in human diseases,” the Harrisville senior says. “I hope that I will discover an area of medicine that will call me in the way that the EHS program here did.”

Having attended a small high school, Smith was looking to find a small college to mimic that experience.

"The Exercise and Health Science Department at Alma has classes that focus on function in physiology, structure in anatomy and even pathology in human diseases."

The chemistry minor is involved in a variety of academic activities including research, being a teaching assistant for two classes and tutoring. He also is president of the EHS honorary and a member of the Chemistry and National Leadership honorary societies.

Smith also plays football and runs track for the Alma Scots, and has volunteered in Louisiana and Georgia.

 

The Alma College Percussion Ensemble performed at the prestigious Centrum Jazz Festival, an international festival in Port Townsend, Wash., in July 2007. Alma was the only college group invited to perform. “It’s a huge honor,” says faculty director Dave Zerbe. “You can’t apply to perform there; they seek you out.”
