The new President’s Circle for major donor levels salutes the faith and loyalty of our alumni and friends. Alma College recognizes leadership giving of $1,000 or more each fiscal year (July 1 to June 30) with personal visits, phone calls and correspondence. President’s Circle members are invited to dinners and events both on and off campus and receive Alma College recognition items. All President’s Circle members are invited to the Holiday Luminary Reception and Choir Concert, the Tribute Dinner and program each May, and Honors Day and Commencement.

The passion and appreciation for The Alma Experience is reflected in the generosity of our donors, and we are all grateful for the enormous difference these individuals make for Alma College. All donors share in our pride and sustain our vision. It is our pleasure to thank and recognize them each year.

 

Students conducting research side-by-side with faculty has been an Alma College 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.
