Hurricane Relief Efforts, Chalmette, La.

Alma students helping with Hurricane Katrina cleanup are participating through the National Relief Network (NRN), a Greenville, Mich., organization committed to bringing large numbers of volunteers to state and federally declared disaster areas for the purpose of helping families in their efforts to rebuild homes, communities and lives. NRN administration of volunteer relief programs for various organizations makes it possible for groups to lend a helping hand when they do not have the necessary resources or access to an organized group relief effort.

Alma’s close faculty-student interaction provides numerous benefits such as the ability to do undergraduate research on a graduate level. Alma’s professors treat students more as peers welcoming student input and collaboration on faculty projects. When students are involved in research, faculty aggressively pursue publication of findings including students as co-authors.
