Alma College’s sports teams have been known as the “Scots” since 1931 when Alma students voted on the name. Soon thereafter, “Scotty” emerged as Alma’s official mascot and is regularly seen on campus, in the community and at athletics events.
Student Profile
Jacob Hammer
Graduation: 2014
Major: English and History
At Alma College, Allegan junior Jacob Hammer easily finds ways to combine his interests in literature and the outdoors—like taking President Jeff Abernathy’s Spring Term environmental literature course.
“We traveled to the Upper Peninsula, where we kayaked out to an island, explored, then camped out overnight,” he says. “We also read lots of books that dealt with issues and concerns in the environment. It was really cool. Since then, I’ve been working on starting up a Kayaking Club on campus.”
