Community Health.  IPH 270.

More Details:

I have developed this course as a Spring term which provides a perfect opportunity for hands-on learning in a specific health environment. The sixth annual Heart Health Fair was presented to all 6th grade students in the county schools including Ashley, Fulton, Ithaca, St. Louis, Breckenridge, and Alma. The ultimate goal of the Heart Fair is to conduct them every spring at the 6th grade level and to accumulate an on-going database in order to track information pertaining to heart disease risk factors in our county children. We now have fifteen years worth of data in this database.

 

In December 2011, Alma College students, faculty and staff designed and hosted a conference in Washington, D.C., on the 500th anniversary of human rights advocacy. Earlier in the year, Alma College became one of the first undergraduate colleges in the United States to belong to the International Criminal Court Student Network, joining Duke University School of Law, The University of Cambridge and other prestigious institutions in a global community that connects students who share an interest in the ICC.

Janelle Young

Janelle Young
Graduation: 2015
Major: Religious Studies

What does Janelle Young have in common with Aristotle and Descartes? The Charlotte sophomore enjoys pondering life’s big questions just as much as the world’s greatest philosophers did.

“I came to Alma College wanting to be a music educator, but I found myself leaving my religion class excited,” she says. “I really loved contemplating questions related to religion and the existence of God, and I realized that’s where my passion was.”
