Student Profile: Brittany Law
Brittany Law has traveled to Hawaii to present an economics paper and to Argentina to study dollarization - experiences she knows she wouldn't have received anywhere but Alma.
"The faculty has encouraged me to do things that many undergrads wouldn't even consider," the Alma College junior says.
Law came to campus as a recruit for the softball team, but also appreciated the opportunity to be involved in various activities with students who shared her passion for learning.
"I liked that there were many ways students get involved on campus and although the students here are serious they don't hide away in their dorm rooms all the time," she says.
“The faculty has encouraged me to do things that many undergrads wouldn't even consider.”
Her future goal is to become a corporate attorney in an international firm, and feels her economics major, coupled with a foreign service major, will make her very marketable.
The faculty at Alma are extremely supportive of my goals," she says. "During my first meeting with my advisor he listed off classes and extracurricular activities that would help me to succeed in getting into a top law school. When I was a finalist in the economics competition, associate professor James Mueller and assistant professor Robert Cunningham took me to Bowling Green State University to present my paper. The political science department and the provost's office paid for me to go to Hawaii to present my research."
In addition to softball, Law traveled to Ukraine as a member of the student group Forgotten Children of Eastern Europe. She also is an economics department teaching assistant and a member of the Model United Nations team and Omicron Delta Epsilon (the economics honorary).
