ALUMNI PARTICIPATION

The number of alumni contributing to the College each year is a critical statistic for Alma College. Not only do the collective dollars from Alma's "loyal hearts" make a difference the campus can feel every day, but the percentage of alumni participation has a direct effect on corporate and foundation grant support.

The percentage is based on a single counting of alumni who have made a gift of any amount, to any fund-raising effort, within a given fiscal year (July 1 to June 30). Alma College is blessed with wonderful support from alumni who support a vision for Alma's future and the promise of successful lives for new generations of alumni.

Alma’s off-campus study programs do more than place students in exciting locales to meet interesting people; they also create new opportunities for personal growth and skill development. One of the best ways to learn about other societies and cultures is to study and travel in international settings. You do not always have to know a foreign language.
