Frank Knox’s accomplishments are extraordinary: From fighting alongside Teddy Roosevelt and the Rough Riders and publishing the Chicago Daily News vice presidential candidate in 1936 to Secretary of the Navy under Franklin D. Roosevelt. Through it all, the 1912 graduate stayed true to his Alma College roots. His portrait adorns the conference room in the Reid-Knox Administration Building.

Dr. Dale Nester

Dr. Dale Nester
Graduation: 1975

Dale A. Nester knew he wanted to be a dentist and thought attending the University of Michigan would be the best way to ensure his acceptance into dentistry school.

An unplanned visit to Alma College during a summer program changed his mind.
