House Artist in Residence at St. Mary’s College in Maryland

More Details:

House Artist in Residence at St. Mary’s College in Maryland from May 2-8, 2005. I worked on writing and revising poetry during my sabbatical.

 

Spring Term at Alma is a one-month immersion on a single academic topic that offers learning experiences not typically available during the more traditional 15-week fall and winter terms. For example, during Spring Term 2012, students observed lizards in Bermuda, studied modern economic development in India, performed dance in Taiwan, examined renewable energy in Europe and investigated medicinal plants in the Amazon rainforest.

 

Graduate Profile

Glenn Fischer

Glenn Fischer
Graduation: 1990
Major: International Business and French

After Glenn Fischer graduated with a bachelor’s degree in international business and French, Europe was his destination. His skills quickly landed him a job in consulting in Germany, where he currently lives.

“At Alma, I learned how to put my own, unique vision on the line and explain that vision to my peers,” he says. “It’s the same in the corporate worlds. You can craft a solution for an existing model, or you can create something entirely unique.”
