Alumni

Albion College campus is small and so I felt like my interaction with the school and community was very personal and everyone wanted everyone to succeed. My professors advocated for me with being able to obtain an internship that was local and something that I was genuinely interested in. My only critique I would give to the school was that I began classes right before we went into Covid-19 lockdown, and just like every other educational institution in the country, there were a lot of growing pains getting familiarized with online learning and quickly.
