Get Out

Get Out Experience logo

The Get Out Program at Alma College gives students a reason to get outdoors and explore the beauty and nature of Michigan.

Through physical fitness activities such as biking, hiking and skiing, Get Out provides a way to de-stress at a minimal cost. The program also provides great opportunities to meet new people who share your interests.

Students who are particularly enthusiastic about biking also can participate in the Get Out Bike Program. After signing a pledge not to bring a car to campus, these students receive a bike at a discounted rate.

Because a sustainable campus is important to us, we’re dedicated to providing these kinds of experiences. To help our students reduce their carbon footprints, we also offer alternative transportation services through the Get Out Bus Program.

 

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.

 

Leadership Profile

Alex Sprague

Alex Sprague
Graduation: 2015
Major: Religious Studies and Political Science

As a Student Ministry Coordinator and the vice president of the Interfaith Council at Alma College, Delaware sophomore Alex Sprague knows a thing or two about leadership.

“I never would have thought I’d be vice president of a club as a sophomore, which speaks to the small school atmosphere,” he says. “Leadership isn’t based on seniority here, but rather on your own interests and ability to lead. You are able to have many experiences.”
