Survey: Homeless People Appreciate Public Libraries
Public libraries can do more to serve their homeless patrons, says Alma College Librarian Angie Kelleher, a former social worker who researched the topic.

 

Alma College’s nationally recognized Model United Nations program has won top honors for 16 consecutive years (1997–2012) — the longest active winning streak of any college or university in the nation. Alma College’s all-time 30 “outstanding delegation” awards are the most of any college or university in the 90-year history of the conference.
