Homecoming spirit week

By Students

Sponsored by the offices of Campus Life and Institutional Advancement, the College will be hosting a competitive spirit week leading up to homecoming this year. All four classes will compete against one another to see who has the most school spirit. The winning class will be determined based off which class has the highest participation levels, raises the most money for the Briton Scholarship Fund through penny wars, and who has the best rock design.

Seniors will set the tone for spirit week by dressing up in purple and gold & painting the rock on Monday. To receive credit for dressing up on their given spirit day, participating students will check in at the KC each day, where they can pick up a custom class sticker and participate in penny wars.

September 25: Senior Spirit Day

September 26: Junior Spirit Day

September 27: Sophomore Spirit Day

September 28: First-Year Spirit Day

Sign up for a free writing consultation

By Students

There’s always more to learn about writing as you encounter new contexts and take on more complex projects. Peer Writing Consultants are here to help you figure it out!

Writing Consultants are available Sunday through Thursday from 4-8 p.m., and we’re located in the Peer Learning Hub on the 2nd floor of Stockwell Library.

Writing consultations are free and unlimited for all Albion College students! Each consultation is scheduled for one hour, though these conversations can last anywhere from 10-60 minutes, depending on the project and your goals.

We specialize in the various kinds of academic writing you’ll encounter in classes (lab reports, analysis essays, research papers), but we’re also eager to talk with you about writing for jobs, professionalization, activism, and creative pursuits.

Schedule an appointment today!
