Attention current first and second-year students!

Second-Year Class Dean Amy Stearns will be assembling a second-year task force which will work together next fall and spring to identify and address areas of improvement for the second-year experience at Allegheny in response to recently collected survey data.

The group will be composed of second- and third-year students and will meet most Fridays for one hour at lunchtime. Additional outside work up to an hour a week will be required at times.

Meetings will be augmented by training sessions with Allegheny alumni, faculty, and/or staff, adding a professional development component to the experience. If you are interested in being part of the Second-Year Task Force, please submit this form.

If you are interested and have questions, please email Amy at astearns@allegheny.edu.

This event is a way to share African, Caribbean, and Hispanic culture/food with the Allegheny Community. It will be held on April 27, at 6 pm in Schultz Banquet Hall.

Continuing students are invited to submit papers of no more than 8,000 words to be considered for publication in Allegheny’s new (and yet unnamed!) academic writing journal.

Authors whose work is selected for publication will be partnered with student editors in the Fall 2024 Editing and Publishing course.

Please direct any questions to Professor Alexis Hart at ahart@allegheny.edu. The deadline for submissions is June 3, 2024.

Gators, have you secured a summer internship in D.C., Erie, or NYC? The Career Center is proud to have connections, through local universities and housing services, that provide students with reliable residential living, some even including free public transportation passes.

Additionally, students can apply to our internship funding program through Handshake which provides funds to offset the cost of housing, meals, and transportation – the deadline is May 1.

Please email Autumn Parker <aparker> to schedule an appointment to discuss housing options and/or the internship funding application.

Child Care for Commencement will be provided at the Meadville Children’s Center in the Odd Fellows Building from 12:30 to 5:30 pm on May 11.

Child Care staff will ask you to fill out an emergency form when you drop off your child(ren). There is no cost for this service, but all children must be registered by Wednesday, May 1.

The registration form can be found here.

Allegheny is providing transportation to your respective polling location. From 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. There will be buses picking students up and dropping them off on Brooks Walk.

This shuttle bus to the polls is sponsored by the Center for Political Participation and the Andrew Goodman Foundation.
