TV Commercial Wins Davey Award
The Alma College Marketing and Communications Department was selected by The International Academy of Visual Arts to receive a Davey Award for its 60-second TV commercial that promotes the “Alma Experience.”

 

In the more than 125 years since its founding, Alma College has stayed true to its roots by keeping its Scottish heritage alive. Today, Alma features a marching band clad in kilts, a Scottish dance troupe, a competitive pipe band and its own tartan. Each year, the College hosts the Alma Highland Festival and Games, which feature traditional Scottish games and revelry.

Even when Andrea Bouwhuis isn’t inspecting her Petri dishes or tweaking her test tubes, she’s extracting all the knowledge she can from her research environment.

“You can learn more from 24 hours in the lab than two weeks in class,” says the Grandville senior. “There’s a greater depth to your work when it’s application based.”
