No one describes the Alma experience better than those living it. Explore their stories, in their own words, below.
The biology department is a diverse one that can accommodate numerous academic outcomes and goals. I am very thankful for the ample research opportunities that were provided to me.
The nursing program at Alma College has given me the resources to develop critical thinking, foster meaningful relationships, and receive hands-on opportunities through clinical experiences right here in Alma. Not only am I developing the skills necessary to become a nurse, but through the program I have learned the importance of empathy and advocacy which is critical to excellent patient care that goes beyond the skills that I have acquired here in Alma.
The field experience is hugely beneficial for my future career and I really enjoy it in the moment. Not many undergrads can say that they know exactly what they want to do and have the skills to do it, but I do.
