For classically trained ballerina Cassie Haley, Alma College is as comfortable as a pair of worn-in pointe shoes.
“I love small schools, and Alma really fits,” she says. “When I met with the dance department and the other professors, it felt so inclusive. I could tell I belonged with the dance company from the start. We all love each other, and that makes dancing a lot of fun.”
