Alumni Round Tables

What’s the difference between Tartan Clubs and Alumni Round Tables? Round tables are more formalized groups that have been established with specific goals in mind, including encouraging and planning networking opportunities among alumni and friends.

In addition to assisting students with career exploration and personal growth, Alumni Round Tables also promote communication between alumni and Student Life staff members and business faculty members.

Currently, Alma has two round tables: West Michigan and Metro Detroit.

 

In the more than 125 years since its founding, Alma College has stayed true to its roots by keeping its Scottish heritage alive. Today, Alma features a marching band clad in kilts, a Scottish dance troupe, a competitive pipe band and its own tartan. Each year, the College hosts the Alma Highland Festival and Games, which feature traditional Scottish games and revelry.
