Professor Researches Works of Well-known Composer
A leading authority on 19th century Austrian composer Franz Schubert, Alma College professor Scott Messing recently presented the results of his research on the reception of the composer’s “Marche militaire” to an international audience.

 

Alma College’s first-year students can choose to “go green” through the Get Out Bike Program, designed to reduce their carbon impact. By signing a pledge not to bring a car to campus, participants in the program receive a bike to keep at a discounted rate. Downtown businesses are easily accessible to student cyclists. Campus also is bordered by the 41-mile Fred Meijer Heartland Trail.
