Kayaking Summer 2008
Frank Knox’s accomplishments are extraordinary: From fighting alongside Teddy Roosevelt and the Rough Riders and publishing the Chicago Daily News vice presidential candidate in 1936 to Secretary of the Navy under Franklin D. Roosevelt. Through it all, the 1912 graduate stayed true to his Alma College roots. His portrait adorns the conference room in the Reid-Knox Administration Building.
Student Profile
Daniel Jaremko
Graduation: 2013
Major: Chemistry
Daniel Jaremko didn’t expect to take hold of a nuclear magnetic resonance spectrophotometer his first year of college, but research opportunities are just one of the many elements that make up the Alma College experience.
Working with Joel Dopke, assistant professor of chemistry, the New York senior used equipment like this to research the synthesis and characterization of semi-organic molecules.
“Research has pushed me to learn things I might not learn in class,” says Jaremko. “A lot of the work depends on how much I put into it and how well I know my stuff. It definitely lets me think on a level that is more challenging.”
