Alma College, United States

United States

The College was founded by Michigan Presbyterians in 1886, and received funding from lumber magnate Ammi Wright, for whom Wright Hall on campus and Wright Avenue in the city of Alma are named. Prior to 1934, the Alma mascot was the Fighting Presbyterians, which became the subject of debate in 1931 due to a series of stories by theThe Almanian, a student-run newspaper, expressing discontentment over the limitation on cheers to "Go Presbyterians" or "Go Campbellites", the latter in support of then current football coach, Royal Campbell. While still maintaining a close relationship with the Presbyterian Church, Alma College offers an environment that welcomes students of all religious backgrounds.

Alma College's campus size is 128-acre, featuring:

• Residence halls
• Bookstore
• Library
• Stone Recreation Center
• Dining area, snack bars, and coffee shops
• McClure Natatorium (Swimming Pool)
• Flora Kirsch Beck Art Gallery
• Remick Heritage Center
• Dunning Memorial Chapel
• A 200-acre ecological research area (contains a glacial kettle lake, woodlands, a bird observatory and etc)

Alma College is located in the center of Michigan's lower peninsula. It is 50 miles north of Lansing, and approximately  two and one-half hours northwest of Detroit. Alma College is a block and a half west of downtown Alma, and only within two hours of Michigan's ski areas and beaches.

The education students acquire from the social and interpersonal experiences of residential life plays a vital role in their holistic development as engaged, critically-thinking, responsible and inquiring human beings.

Regardless of whether students live in a residence hall, themed housing unit or a fraternity/sorority house, Alma College retains a common set of goals—goals which promote students’ personal development and right to realize their fullest potential.
