Albion Hotel Project Takes Big Step Forward A $1 million grant from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation's (MEDC) Michigan Strategic Fund, announced July 30, clears the way for a four-story, 72-room boutique hotel to be constructed at the corner of Superior and Porter streets in downtown Albion. Nearly $1 million in additional funds will come from the City of Albion Brownfield Redevelopment Authority to prepare the site for the build.
College Tallies Major Fundraising Gains There's always a certain buzz in the air as fall semester approaches. At Albion, that buzz has become a deeper momentum on a number of fronts: the largest first-year class of the decade, a new hotel project downtown and, through the continued generosity of donors, a significant increase in giving to the College.
Students Tackle Summer Research Projects 
"Growing up in Ann Arbor, an ecologically-minded community, has conditioned me to focus on the preservation of a healthy environment," says Lauren Rasmussen, '17, about her summer FURSCA biology research project, "and I would like to help continue finding useful information to protect it."

Albion Volleyball Chronicles Preseason 
The Albion College volleyball team recently returned from a preseason training and service trip in Costa Rica, "and I think we represented the program extremely well," according to Kristin Yeager, '16. Along with practices, the weeklong experience included a visit to a center for underprivileged children, a whitewater rafting trip, a zipline adventure, and a match with the Costa Rica under-20 national team.
Be Part of the Winning Team Albion College expects to welcome more than 450 first-year students, the largest entering class since 2009. A major factor was the involvement of alumni who referred 150 of those new students. Be part of an upcoming success story by referring a high school student who should know about Albion as part of the college search process. The Admission office will take it from there!
