Dean of Students

Friday September 23 through Sunday September 25, 2011

We are happy to share with you some of the special events planned for Family Weekend 2011. Events span many interests, whether you’re the parent of a first-year student or an old friend of Allegheny.

Join us for the unique sound of One World Tribe, be entertained by magician Justin “Kredible” Willman, get a campus update from President Mullen, learn more about the services offered at Allegheny, join us for a campus TailGATOR, participate in recreational activities with your student at the Wise Center — and much more.

Allegheny College encourages fellowship with family and friends of Allegheny students and sets aside a special weekend each year for this purpose. The schedule is designed to allow for plenty of free time to enjoy and share in your student’s Allegheny experience. We have organized the schedule to allow you the greatest flexibility in choosing activities that meet your interests.

Please continue to check the Allegheny website for current schedules and information. Throughout Family Weekend you can stop by the Campus Center lobby and pick up information regarding events on campus and in the Meadville area.

Updates to the Family Weekend Schedule

Change in Friday Night Performer

Unfortunately, magician Justin “Kredible” Willman has needed to cancel his performance on Friday night once again due to his filming schedule for his TV show “Cupcake Wars”.

Instead, GAP will be hosting Derek Hughes on Friday, September 23 at 9:30 pm in the Campus Center Lobby.   Derek Hughes is a comedian/magician who the New York Times has described as “throughly entertaining.”  He is back at Allegheny, this year for family weekend, with a new show that will have you stunned and laughing throughout.  Don’t miss out on this one of a kind event on Friday, September 23, at 9:30pm in the Campus Center Lobby.

Swimming and Diving Team Annual 5 mile Run/Walk Fundraiser

The Swimming and Diving Team is hosting their Annual 5 mile Run/Walk fundraiser on Saturday, September 24th.  The race begins at 9:30 am.  Race day registration runs from 8:00-9:15 am in the Giant Eagle Parking Lot.  Participants will be shuttled to the start of the race at the end of the Ernst Trail.  The last shuttle leaves the parking lot at 9:15 am.  There are lots of prizes from area businesses.  Awards are given to the winners of each age group and top three over all finishers.  The rest of the prizes are put into a lottery of all participants.  For more information, please contact Coach Erin Detwiler at edetwiler@allegheny.edu
