“We will define new and compelling ways to inspire our students to set their extraordinary talents to the timeless values of citizenship – values grounded in a deep sensitivity to the dignity of the individual…an ambition leavened by humility, a love of country animated by the pursuit of justice and a dedication to service that is framed by the awareness of something larger than themselves.”
– Allegheny College President James H. Mullen, Jr.
The Year of Social Change at Allegheny College in Meadville, Pennsylvania, is a celebration of the ongoing community transformations that have been facilitated by collaborations between students, faculty, staff, and community partners. We hope to increase the ranks of ordinary people who discover they have the power to become movers and shakers. Through our collective efforts, we wish to debunk the myth that academic life has little or nothing to do with tackling ‘real world’ issues.
We invite you to share our journey through this academic year as we bring inspirational change makers and programs to our campus. Admission to these events is free and open to all members of the public. Please keep checking the Calendar on this website for regular program updates.
