Urban Mission Experience, Jacksonville, Fla.

The Urban Mission Experience provides groups an opportunity to reach out to the people of low income and homeless in Jacksonville, FL. Alma's students stay in newly constructed dorm rooms and use the church as a base of operations to move into the community to experience urban missions. The program director links groups seeking to learn about urban missions with non-profit organizations.

Alma’s close faculty-student interaction provides numerous benefits such as the ability to do undergraduate research on a graduate level.

When students are involved in research, faculty aggressively pursue publication of findings including students as co-authors.
