Today we were able to spend more time with the residents. It started
off with us helping out at the chapel service; singing and listening to
the message. After lunch some of the group raked leaves, while others
were with the residents playing games and coloring. After dinner we
had a special event with the Nichless group home. It was an ice cream
social and we were able to get to know the residents.

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.
