Students Sponsor Annual Tree Hug-a-thon, Dedication

 
 

TREE DEDICATION — Alma College's Dennis Skriba, assistant director of administrative systems, and Fran Groves, performing arts office associate, gathered Wednesday, Oct. 31, with members of Students United for Nature (SUN) for tree dedications honoring Groves' mother and Skriba. Chestnut trees were planted in memory of Grieta Elenbaas, Groves' mother, in front of the Remick Heritage Center for the Performing Arts. A Cardinal Flowering Crab tree will be planted to recognize Skriba's extraordinary support for the student environmental organization. SUN was conducting its annual Tree Hug-a-thon to raise money for the Roeper Tree Fund that purchases trees to plant on campus in the organization's bid to maintain Alma College's claim to be the most arboreal diversified campus in the United States. 

 

Many of Alma’s pre-law graduates go on to attend prestigious law schools, including 2004 graduate Jessica Karbowski, who was accepted at Yale, Stanford and Harvard law schools and is attending Yale. Colin McGlaughlin, a 20004 graduated enrolled at Case Western Reserve Law School, is the first American to intern at the International Criminal Court at The Hague in the Netherlands.

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.
