Blue & Gold WeekendA Homecoming & Family Celebration

Allegheny is hosting its first ever on-campus Blue & Gold Weekend Career Fair. This event is designed to bring together Allegheny alumni and students for career networking, and highlight employment opportunities at companies and organizations in which our alumni have influence. Current students are invited to connect with inspirational alumni who can prepare undergraduates for current job and paid internship opportunities at their respective companies. Additionally, students will be able to get professional headshots taken and enter for a chance to win various prizes.

The Meadville Independent Business Alliance invites you to shop local and Experience Meadville. Downtown Meadville offers many unique dining and shopping experiences. Most downtown stores are open 10 am to 5 pm and several offer discounts to members of the Allegheny community. Check individual store and restaurant listings for hours.

Stop by for all of your Gator spirit needs!

Enjoy games or visit The Craft Corner to make a Gator craft.

Alumni who are on campus at this time are cordially invited to attend this special reception to meet other alumni and select college faculty, staff, and students.

Get ready to jumpstart your weekend with this ultimate vibe! Catch up with old college friends, roommates, teammates, and ABC members in a lively and nostalgic atmosphere. Enjoy lite bites and sip on beer/wine with provided tickets. Please click here to RSVP.

As Good As It Gets is a one-woman show created by Elizabeth Colarte that follows the life of one unsatisfied, ungrateful little lady. Ain’t life a beaut? Well, those in-between moments are exactly the ones she doesn’t want any part of. Visiting old women to feel rejuvenated. Fading into some romance. Having a panic attack in CVS. Repeat. For one hour only, we follow one would-be protagonist down the rabbit hole.

What do you do when you hate the guy you’re dating but he only has one eye? What do you stare at when sitting across from an old person whose eyes are constantly dripping in a way that can’t possibly be healthy? What happens when a textbook life doesn’t match up with the story you had in your head? May as well have some gross, wet cake and laugh all the way down. As Good as It Gets delivers a dry slap of comedy and a wet punch of what we lose when we can’t be satisfied.

As Good as It Gets will premiere this year at the 2024 Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Relax under the tent in Gator Quad and enjoy music, light snacks and drinks with fellow Allegheny families and alumni. Drink tickets for beer and wine will be distributed to persons 21 years of age and older (two tickets for 7-9 pm and two tickets for 9-11 pm).

Enjoy choreographed songs, singing, lip-syncing, and short acts performed by members of Allegheny’s fraternities and sororities. This is family-friendly — and, whether you’re Greek or not, a fun Allegheny tradition.

Enjoy music, painting (supplies will be provided), light snacks and beverages in a casual and fun atmosphere for students, families, and alumni.
