More Details:

The MATH Challenge is a team-oriented competition among mostly small colleges. I have organized this event for the past 11 years. We had 45 teams from 17 different institutions participate in the 2004 MATH Challenge which was held on Nov. 6, 2004.

 

Alma College’s membership in Phi Beta Kappa is an indication of excellence within the liberal arts. Only 10 percent of colleges and universities in the United States share this distinction. The Phi Beta Kappa Society is the nation’s oldest and most prestigious undergraduate honors organization.

 

Student Profile

Josh Minshall

Josh Minshall
Graduation: 2013
Major: French

Some people think French is the language of snoots and snobs. Others assume it’s only good for impressing dates. To Holly senior Josh Minshall, the language of love is “100-percent awesome sauce.”

“I’ve been taking French since 10th grade,” he says. “A lot of my friends took Spanish because they thought French would be too hard, but I stuck with it. I feel like I have a real knack for the language, and I speak it every day.”
