Greetings!
Wow - what a difference it makes to have both faculty and (many) students back on campus! There is a lot of energy in the air, and it serves to help us as we transition away from our summer programming and hit the final stretch of Homecoming preparations.
Move-In Day 2013 was the first time  we have gotten a group of our incoming legacy students together: 51 entering students have a sibling, parent or grandparent who attended (or is attending) Alma and we were able to get this group to take a break from unpacking to get this photo (right).
Wishing you a safe Labor Day weekend!
 Lou Ecken '95 Director of Alumni Engagement

We welcomed our incoming class of about 420 students this past Saturday, it is finally nice to have a little more excitement on campus!!
Admissions reps are gearing up for fall travel by contacting high school guidance counselors to schedule visits; any alumni working in schools who want to stop by and say "HI" would be appreciated (we do bring Saga cookies!!), so feel free to contact Admissions to see when a rep will be at your school!
