A Celebration of the Liberal Arts
Alma College — Thursday, April 2, 2009
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.
The 2009 Honors Day events will begin with a presentation by the 2009 Honors Day Keynote Speaker, Anna Rosmus, at 8 p.m. Wednesday, April 1, 2009, in the Remick Heritage Center, Presbyterian Hall. Admission is free and open to the public.
Other Honors Day events include student poster presentations, the awarding of the Eighth Annual Ronald O. Kapp Honors Prize, and the annual Honors Convocation that includes the bestowing of honors for Outstanding Senior Leader, Outstanding Senior, Outstanding Faculty Awards, and the Barlow Trophy.
