Scot Speaker Series

The Scot Speaker Series brings speakers and events to the communities of Alma College and Alma, Michigan, that provide meaningful insights into the challenges that face us.

The theme of the Scot Speaker Series for the 2023-24 academic year is Navigating Change Together.

Tickets are not required for any of these events.
