A Celebration of the Liberal Arts


Alma College Honors Day

Over the years, Alma College has fostered a tradition of involving undergraduate students in high-level scholarship and creative work. Our students have presented the results of their work from the laboratories, library and studios in local, national and international venues. The purpose of Honors Day is to celebrate scholarly and creative activities in the liberal arts on our campus.
