Parent Association

Because college is a journey of personal growth for students, it’s inevitable that their relationships with their parents also change. But you certainly aren’t on this journey alone. The Alma College Parent Board is here to provide you with the resources you need throughout the Alma experience.

A group of parents who work on behalf of the college and its parents, the Parent Board aims to make the experiences of Alma students as rewarding and fulfilling as possible. While three parental units represent each college class, all parents are eligible to serve on one of the standing committees.

We also encourage all parents to become involved with the college—visit often, eat in the dining commons and engage in dialogue with your son or daughter and their friends about their college experience. Get to know what they are doing and find ways to support them.

 

Alma College graduates have extraordinary placement rates into medical and law schools. Alma’s 84 percent placement rate into medical school compares to a 46.3 percent national average. Alma’s placement rate for law school is 86.9 percent, compared to a 66.8 percent national average.

Psychology major and horse owner Pam Prewett has worked with horses for 10 years. The opportunity to easily commute back home and see her horses is one of the reasons she decided to attend Alma College. Naturally, her career plans revolve around her favorite four-legged friends as well.

ā€œI’m going into equine-assisted psychotherapy, so before going on and becoming certified in family counseling, an undergraduate foundation in psychology will really help me with my future practice,ā€ she says.
