Graduate Profile
Julie Bolitho-Lee
Graduation: 2006
Major: English
Since graduating from Alma College in 2006, Julie Bolitho-Lee has gotten married, finished a master’s degree, earned status as a dual citizen, published poetry, adopted two dogs and a cat, and traveled to more than 15 different countries.
Yet not once has Bolitho-Lee forgotten the incredible support she received from the English faculty when she was a student at Alma.
“I have always loved English—reading and writing,” she says. “I knew it would be my major before I even went to Alma, but the faculty in the English department fed and indulged my passions in unexpected and beautiful ways.”
