Difficulties With Voter Registration?

Posted on October 14, 2024 | Filed under General News

Some students have reported being unable to upload a photo of their signature to the PA online voter registration form. If you’re using an iPhone, the default photo is a HEIC file, which the state’s website appears to have difficulty reading.

If you’re experiencing this problem, upload a photo of your signature as a JPEG file. If that still doesn’t work, contact the Center for Political Participation at cpp@allegheny.edu to fill out a paper ballot.

For any questions or help regarding voter registration, please contact the Center for Political Participation at cpp@allegheny.edu.

Reusables Are Coming To McKinley’s

Posted on October 13, 2024 | Filed under General News

Reusable plates, bowls and mugs will be introduced to McKinley’s in the near future as a way to reduce single-use waste and costs, free up capacity in our composter, and enhance the dining experience. If you’ve been taking your food “to go” on compostable plates from McKinley’s, this will no longer be an option!

If you plan to sit down within McKinley’s dining room, reusable plates will be provided at each station but will NOT be permitted to leave the dining room. If you plan to eat outside the dining room (even if that’s in the lobby or on the Gator Quad patio), you’ll need to checkout a green box using the Reuzzi app.

Not already using the green box program? Get ready for the transition by downloading the Reuzzi app for iOS or for Android and create an account with your Allegheny email.

Then, you can check out up to 3 green boxes at once and earn points toward rewards when you return them.

Need another incentive? Every user who creates a Reuzzi account and checks out a green box during the week of October 14 will be entered into a raffle for sustainability swag.

Ten lucky winners will receive an insulated coffee tumbler, a stainless steel water bottle, and/or a reusable utensil set from the Office of Sustainability.

Look for tabling over the next few weeks to learn more about the green box program, why it helps Allegheny achieve our sustainability goals, what rewards you can earn by using the program, and more.

Please email sustainability@allegheny.edu with any questions.
