A Little History...
Mitchell was the first residence to be built for men, but these days we're co-ed. We are wired for online computer access and have in-room cable TV.
We were built in 1959-60 and named in honor of James E. Mitchell, a member of Alma’s third graduating class in 1893. He returned to the campus four years later as a professor and was a faculty member for 44 years.
