Managing Director for the Mackinac Island Flute Festival
This is a yearly event that gathers a small number of like-minded flutists in a beautiful and enriching environment to discuss and perform flute repertoire for the community and for each other.
Alma College students have the ability to design their own area of academic concentration—with the assistance of a faculty advisor—to meet specific educational or career goals. In recent years, students have graduated with Programs of Emphasis majors in such fields as arts management, archaeology and anthropology, environmental policy and community advocacy, Foreign Service and international law, and music technology and digital media.
