Carol Hyble

This year marks 125 years of Alma College, but it is not by chance that we are celebrating our quasquicentennial.

Over the past thirteen decades, individuals like you and I have invested in Alma to ensure the quality experience and tradition they engaged in will continue to thrive and beckon future Scots.

I was given the gift of the Alma experience and was challenged to discover the potential that I had yet to recognize. For that reason, among others, I am a steward of Alma College.

When each of us makes that stretch for a common goal, we have the ability to achieve great things.

Alma’s Physical Plant staff had a vision in 1997. They wanted to endow a scholarship at the $10,000 level. They were deeply committed to accomplishing this goal and did so through holding bake sales, picking up pop cans and contributing cash.

Collectively, we can make a real difference on our campus. Please consider how you can become more engaged to steward the campus today. Bring prospective students to campus that you want to continue the legacy. Or tell us about them so that we can invite them to visit.

Offer an internship to a student. Insight into how graduates use the foundation of their Alma experience into their profession and in their community helps current students visualize opportunities for their life after Alma College.

We thank you for enhancing the image of Alma College each day as you find success and do good work. Please look for ways to connect to your alma mater and to let people know that Alma College is one of your top priorities. Open doors by bringing potential students or donors to an Alma event—you have the ability to expand our reach.

Please consider giving a gift annually to sustain Alma’s tradition. By focusing on our collective strength we realize how important the strong continuation of Alma is to each of us.

I invite you to join me as a steward of Alma College.

Best from campus,

More than one-third of all Alma students take part in at least one performance each year. The College offers majors in theatre, dance and music, but students of all majors may join in productions. The Remick Heritage Center for the Performing Arts is the region's premier performing arts facility.

Phil Chisholm ’56 says he has a soft spot for Alma College. When he recalls his experience here, it’s easy to see why.

“You’re a person, not a number, at Alma,” he says. “I enjoyed being in an atmosphere where you can really get to know people, including the professors.”
