Newberry also houses the offices of the Almanian, the campus student newspaper.

We're is named in honor of Helen Newberry Joy, who made several gifts to Alma College during her lifetime. Newberry was constructed after her death in 1961.

 

The Alma College Percussion Ensemble performed at the prestigious Centrum Jazz Festival, an international festival in Port Townsend, Wash., in July 2007.

Alma’s close faculty-student interaction provides numerous benefits such as the ability to do undergraduate research on a graduate level. Alma’s professors treat students more as peers welcoming student input and collaboration on faculty projects. When students are involved in research, faculty aggressively pursue publication of findings including students as co-authors.
