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.

The assistant professor of English and chair of the American Studies program earned her undergraduate degree from Colby College, so she knew she wanted to work in a small liberal arts atmosphere.
