More Than 1,800 Attend Albright Speech

More than 1,800 people filled Cappaert Gymnasium for a speech by former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright at Alma College on Sept. 12.

Albright discussed leadership and respect during her talk and reflected on her career as Secretary of State during President Bill Clinton's administration. Prior to her public speech, she met with Alma College students for a question-and-answer session. Following her speech, she signed books for nearly 45 minutes. The photos below document her visit to Alma College.

Students conducting research side-by-side with faculty has been an Alma legacy for generations. Alma students team up with faculty on scholarly research or to collaborate on creative or performing arts projects. An annual Honors Day features student presentations, performances and exhibits. Many students present such work at regional, national and international meetings.
