Alma, Equatorialis Sign Articulation Agreement
Leaders from Alma College and Equatorialis University in Quito, Ecuador, meeting in Alma Feb. 13, signed an articulation agreement that provides easy transfer for South American students who wish to earn an American degree at Alma College.

 

Alma College ranks second in the nation in the percentage of students who participate in alternative break service trips, according to Break Away, the national organization that supports the development of alternative break experiences that inspire lifelong active citizenship. Last year, Alma students provided flood relief, built affordable homes, planned activities for terminally ill children, constructed wheelchair ramps, worked with immigrants, and assisted in after-school programs.

For Kait Squanda, who has played sports her entire life, exercising and staying healthy are daily activities. Inspiring others to do the same is her passion.

“The human body amazes me every single day,” she says. “It’s so complex, and to be able to know what’s going on in it and to talk about it with my friends is really cool. I like to be a nerd. After graduation, I want to teach, so I can help others understand how to be healthy.”
