Outstanding Student Leaders Receive Awards

Alma College seniors Amanda Buck of Saginaw, Shabnam Mirsaeedi Farahani of Midland, Bethany Payton of Bloomfield Hills, Jeff Snow of Pleasant Ridge and Laura Wasek of Traverse City received 2004 Outstanding Senior Leadership Awards. The Outstanding Senior Leader, won this year by Payton, is elected from the leadership award winners by a vote of the senior class.

The Alma Leadership Alliance (ALA), a student organization committed to bridging the transition between student and alumni status, sponsors the Senior Leadership Awards. Nominated by campus organizations and selected by a committee of students, faculty and administrators, seniors receive Senior Leadership Awards for involvement in various areas of campus life leadership.

A scholarship sponsored by ALA is given in the Outstanding Senior Leader s name to an incoming freshman who has demonstrated leadership qualities in high school.

 

Students conducting research side-by-side with faculty has been an Alma legacy for generations. Alma students team up with faculty on scholarly research or to collaborate on creative or performing arts projects. An annual Honors Day features student presentations, performances and exhibits. Many students present such work at regional, national and international meetings.
