Student Profile

Jared Kilpatrick

Jared Kilpatrick
Graduation: 2013
Major: Biology and Chemistry

For a chemistry and biology double major who hopes to become a physician, a stand-out résumé is as vital as a good bedside manner. That’s why Rochester Hills senior Jared Kilpatrick chose Alma College.

“The service opportunities at Alma sparked my interest,” he says. “I went to Nepal this past summer through Posey Global and volunteered in a hospital. It was a really great experience that made me appreciate the modern technology and health standards that we have in America.”
