Alma’s innovative PRISM project—Positive Routes Into Science and Mathematics—gets more students excited about science. It engages students in research opportunities not only in their first, second, third and fourth years of college but also in the summer prior to taking their first college course. PRISM is funded by a $500,000 grant from the National Science Foundation.

 

Student Profile

Katie Greenough

Katie Greenough
Graduation: 2014
Major: Music

What Katie Greenough has learned at Alma College goes beyond music theory and computer skills: She also has mastered carpentry.

During an Alternative Break trip, the music major helped rebuild an Alabama town that had been ravaged by a tornado. She says the experience changed her life.

“I got to build a railing for someone’s house, which made me feel so proud that I really helped people in a tangible way,” she says. “Because it was a faith-based trip, the experience also strengthened my faith in ways I didn’t even know it needed strengthening.”
