Alma College Writing Center

The writing center at Alma College

Chelsea Duff ’13 says:

“The writing center has been a valuable resource to me ever since I entered college. Although I enjoy writing, I realize that writing is a process and can always be improved. The Writing Center helped me gain new perspectives into my arguments and word choice. The students who work there are so friendly and I always leave the writing center confident that I will do well on my paper.”

The Writing Center is Alma College’s writing resource. We help with the writing process in any discipline, ranging from early brainstorming to editing and focusing on argumentation, style, grammar and source use.

Alma College's sports teams have been known as the Scots since 1931 when Alma students voted on the name. Soon thereafter, Scotty emerged as Alma's official mascot. He now is regularly seen on campus, in the community and at athletics events.

 

Student Profile

Joshua Pugh

Joshua Pugh
Graduation: 2011
Major: Political Science

Majoring in political science at Alma College was just as much of a no-brainer as voting is for Joshua Pugh ’11.

“When I first visited campus, I met with Dr. Hulme and knew that I wanted to pursue political science,” he says. “After taking my first research methods class with Dr. Cartrite, it was clear that I had made the right choice.”
