Graduate Profile
Alyson Crabtree
Graduation: 1990
Major: Computer Science
Alyson Crabtree started computer programming in high school. After struggling with her college decision, she decided to pursue her dream at Alma College.
“When I was looking for colleges, I was determined to get far away from home and assert my independence,” the 1990 graduate says. “To me, that meant getting out of Michigan. I visited some New England schools and was planning on heading east. But Alma kept pestering me, and when I objectively looked at what it had to offer, it met all of my criteria — liberal arts, computer science major and a small school.”
