My Allegheny

Allegheny in New York City! For students residing or interning in or near NYC, it is important that you check your email this summer. Institutional Advancement will be sending out invitations for you to connect with alumni in the city.

If you are interning in NYC, please inform the Center for Career and Professional Development so we can ensure you receive these important invitations. Feel free to email career@allegheny.edu or inform a career coach of your plans.

Starting on Monday, May 6, the Wise Center will be open 7 AM-7 PM from Monday to Friday until Aug. 23. Regular hours resume Aug 24. Here is the live link for hours.

The Alumni Office seeks volunteers to help transport alumni and guests around campus on golf carts during Reunion Weekend, May 31 to June 1. Driving a golf cart is a fun way to say hello to people who really appreciate the service you are providing.

To sign up to drive a golf cart, click here. Please sign up for as many shifts as you are willing to work. Thank you!

As you pack up and move out for the semester, please consider how to be most sustainable with items you no longer need or want. Can you donate or recycle that item in the collection locations placed in your residence hall?

• DONATE: Donation carts will be placed in all residence halls (check your lounge, laundry room, or kitchenette) by mid-week. Please donate any items that are worthy of reuse, clean, dry, and undamaged. Items may include clothing, shoes, furniture, furnishings, bedding and linens, appliances, electronics, books, office supplies, kitchen items, housewares, athletic and sporting goods, music, games, and decorations. Please do not donate junk. Do not donate items you wouldn’t offer a friend – if it’s damaged, ripped, stained, not functioning, just plain worn out, or perishable.
• RECYCLE: Move-out is no exception to the rule that Allegheny always recycles plastic (#1 & 2), metal, cardboard, and paper. Recycle these items in any waste collection location in the labeled recycling bin.
• ELECTRONICS: You can donate working appliances and electronics (clear all personal data first) or you can recycle damaged items in the electronics waste collection cage in the back of the Campus Center lobby.

The Office of Physical Plant would like to ask anyone who is ordering items to be sure to have their name and address put on the delivery. We are getting multiple items delivered to the Physical Plant dock that have no names or department and have the address as 520 North Main Street.

Our bays and dock are getting full, and it takes a lot of time to try to figure out where things go. We appreciate everyone’s help with this. If you need to know your building’s address, please reach out to Pplant@alelgheny.edu or 814-332-5378, and we would be happy to help you.

The student caps and gowns for Commencement have arrived and are ready for purchase. Come by the Campus Store to pick your size and try them on. The set is $50.
