Graduate Profile: Amy Moore

Amy Moore benefited from the personal attention that Alma College professors offer. The research she did as an undergraduate sparked her interest to continue her education.

An assistant professor of mathematics at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Moore was attracted to Alma because of the personal attention from professors and the friendly atmosphere.

“I really benefited from the individual attention,” the 2000 graduate says. “My second year at Alma, a faculty member approached me and encouraged me to begin working on research.”

By the time I graduated, I had worked on two different research projects, presented at several conferences, and had a solution to a problem published.

“By the time I graduated, I had worked on two different research projects, presented at several conferences, and had a solution to a problem published,” she says. “Alma's faculty members make teaching their priority, and they really work to help their students succeed. They pushed me to achieve more than I thought I could.”

While at Alma, Moore worked for the admissions office, was a computer science lab assistant, graded math homework, and was involved in math competitions.

 

Alma College is one of the best colleges fostering social responsibility and public service, according to The Princeton Review and Campus Compact. It is one of 81 institutions in 33 states — and the only private college in Michigan — that The Princeton Review commends and features in its book, Colleges With a Conscience: 81 Great Schools with Outstanding Community Involvement.
