Faculty List
Spring Term at Alma is a one-month immersion on a single academic topic that offers learning experiences not typically available during the more traditional 15-week fall and winter terms. For example, during Spring Term 2012, students observed lizards in Bermuda, studied modern economic development in India, performed dance in Taiwan, examined renewable energy in Europe and investigated medicinal plants in the Amazon rainforest.
Faculty Profile
Dr. Jeffrey Cordell
Departments: English
Jeffrey Cordell, assistant professor of English at Alma College, uses literature to visit other worlds. While the possibility of multiple worlds and universes has always fascinated him, initially he planned to access these worlds in a very different way, he says.
“I really wanted to be a physicist,” he says. “Though it seems like a huge jump, science and English actually have much more in common than people might think because both allow you to observe detail in a deeper way.”
