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.

Mike Bishop
Departments: Biology
A childhood interest in nature became a love of bird watching for Alma College lab instructor Mike Bishop.
“A few people have called my interest in birds obsessive,” he says. “I prefer passionate.”
Bishop has been teaching at Alma since 1998 and directs the Alma College Bird Observatory, located on the College’s 200-acre ecological station.
