Honors Day

A Celebration of the Liberal Arts

Alma College Honors Day Thursday, April 1, 2010

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 2010 Honors Day events will begin with a presentation by the 2010 Honors Day Keynote Speaker, Jeff Lieberman, at 8 p.m. Wednesday, March 31, 2010, 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 Ninth 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.

Abstract Submission

 

The memory and spiritual ideals of the late Bishop Thomas Makarios remain alive in a figurative sculpture that was dedicated in May 2009 near the center of campus. The Bishop, professor of religious studies at Alma for 25 years, was founder of the American Diocese of the Malankara Orthodox Church of India and the first Metropolitan Bishop of Canada, United Kingdom and Europe, and South Africa.
