King and Queen Crowned at Homecoming

 

 
Seniors Anthony Rosenblum of Huntington Woods and Monica Rentfrow of Alma were named 2007 Homecoming King and Queen during halftime ceremonies of the football game on Oct. 13. Members of the Alma College senior class voted 10 of their classmates to the 2007 Homecoming Court. During Homecoming Week, the entire student body voted for the King and Queen.

 

Alumni were honored at Homecoming with awards to recognize service and excellence to the College and the alumni's communities and professions.

Back row from left: Christopher Ahn ’98, recipient of the Young Alumnus Award; Alma College President Saundra Tracy; and Bob Eldridge ’71, recipient of the George Hebert Lifetime Service Award.

 

Roger Arbury, class of 1962, received the Smith Distinguished Service Award, which is named after the award’s benefactors, Art ’38 and Carra Jones ’42 Smith.

 

The Homecoming Parade included Kiltie Dancers, bagpipers, the Kiltie Marching Band, and parade grand marshals Dave ’60 and Pat ’59 Hubbard on a brisk but sunny morning. Other special homecoming guests include the 50- and 25-year reunion classes of 1957 and 1982.


 

 

Alma’s “green” residence hall, Wright Hall, was completed in January 2005. The modern, 60-bed apartment-style hall features a number of environmentally friendly features, including geothermal heating and cooling, recycled-content ceiling tiles and carpeting, energy-efficient windows, rooftop solar heating panels, energy-efficient showers and washing machines, and a computerized energy monitoring system.

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.
