Student Research and Presentation
As mentioned above, a number of students involved in environmental and health policy have continued to receive recognition. In November 2007, Rachel Naiukow and Drew Emge are presenting a paper at the American Public Health Association Annual Meeting on "Lessons from a Community effort to Find Institutional Support for Environmental Health Research."
Alma College trustees have adopted a master plan that provides a direction and set of priorities for the development of the physical campus. Key components include an emphasis on advanced and interactive learning, prioritized building renovations, housing initiatives that accommodate enrollment growth, a reconfiguration of parking lots and green spaces, and campus growth plans linked to the Alma downtown business environment.
Dr. Zhewei Dai
Departments: Mathematics and Computer Science
As an undergraduate student studying mathematics at Wuhan University in China, Zhewei Dai was so inspired by her own professors that she determined she would follow in their footsteps.
“I wanted a career in which I would have lifelong learning and an intellectual challenge,” she says. “I wasn’t interested in the 9-5, then repeat, same everyday lifestyle. I also had wonderful teachers who shaped me, and through them, I realized teaching was an important and honorable profession.”
