Student Research and Presentation
As mentioned above, a number of students involved in environmental and health policy have continued to receive recognition. In November 2007, Rachel Naiukow and Drew Emge are presenting a paper at the American Public Health Association Annual Meeting on "Lessons from a Community effort to Find Institutional Support for Environmental Health Research."
Alma College ranks second in the nation in the percentage of students who participate in alternative break service trips, according to Break Away, the national organization that supports the development of alternative break experiences that inspire lifelong active citizenship. Last year, Alma students provided flood relief, built affordable homes, planned activities for terminally ill children, constructed wheelchair ramps, worked with immigrants, and assisted in after-school programs.
