Michigan Campus Compact Venture Grant

More Details:

Awarded $3,364 to create an after school program for a local early childhood learning center. Partnering with business students in Management, early childhood students in Introduction to Early Childhood will create activities which support cognitive, physical, and social development of children in Kindergarten and First grades. Students will also organize and chaperon enrichment field trips to Michigan Masonic Pathways and Alma College.

 

Alma College’s first-year students can choose to “go green” through the Get Out Bike Program, designed to reduce their carbon impact. By signing a pledge not to bring a car to campus, participants in the program receive a bike to keep at a discounted rate. Downtown businesses are easily accessible to student cyclists. Campus also is bordered by the 41-mile Fred Meijer Heartland Trail.
