”Students Want Access To College Info.”
Quotes admissions director Evan Montague: “Electronics is becoming a preferred method to do applications and really to do anything…Different interest segments receive electronic and paper-based information that encourages them to link back to us…The piece that is very vital is to ensure that you are connecting them to the campus in the best way possible and getting them to the campus…The real closer is the student. The student has to visit campuses and make sure they fit in on that campus.”
”Colleges Adapt To New Way Of Thinking.”
Quotes President Saundra Tracy about the role of technology in education. Alma College places emphasis on breadth as well as depth of knowledge. Applying broad skills–leadership coupled with the more specialized skills–is essential in addressing “a real need in a Michigan community, business or organization. We think it is through bringing the specialized skills of the disciplines and the enduring skills of the liberal arts together that holds the most promise for preparing students who can move with ease from one generation of jobs to the next.”
