Graduate Profile
Geoff Clark
Graduation: 2010
Major: Music Education
A music teacher in Alaska, Geoff Clark is a 2010 graduate who already recognizes the many ways his Alma College education has benefited him both inside and outside the classroom.
“Alma pushed me to think beyond the box, and I learned the value of being on top of your subject,” he says. “The music department pushes students to do their best and expects nothing less of them, much like my job. Thanks to Alma, I was more prepared to adapt to living in Alaska and teaching in a state that I had never been to.”
