The Alma iGEM team is a culmination of 20 student members and 2 faculty advisors who have dedicated tremendous amounts of time and energy into getting our current successes available to display on our wiki page. With each member, their picture and an included description of their attributions is displayed on the Members page. Our advisors in collaboration with our executive committee have paved a tremendous pathway for the ultimate success of our team in several ways. They conjointly have secured funding for laboratory equipment, official team gear to represent ourselves, and for us to travel overseas to display our success. With proposals, meetings with local EPA agencies, winning state-run merit competitions, and presentations to faculty and staff of Alma College, not only have the leaders increased our funding, but overall increased our outreach to our local community to assure them that their voices are heard and we are working on a stable means of remediation to the surrounding ecosystem that has been damaged.
