Spring Term at Alma is a one-month immersion on a single academic topic that offers learning experiences not typically available during the more traditional 15-week fall and winter terms. For example, during Spring Term 2012, students observed lizards in Bermuda, studied modern economic development in India, performed dance in Taiwan, examined renewable energy in Europe and investigated medicinal plants in the Amazon rainforest.

Graduate Profile

Geoff Clark

Geoff Clark
Graduation: 2010
Major: Music Education

A music teacher in Alaska, Geoff Clark is a 2010 graduate who already recognizes the many ways his Alma College education has benefited him both inside and outside the classroom.

“Alma pushed me to think beyond the box, and I learned the value of being on top of your subject,” he says. “The music department pushes students to do their best and expects nothing less of them, much like my job. Thanks to Alma, I was more prepared to adapt to living in Alaska and teaching in a state that I had never been to.”
