My Allegheny

Gear up for finals, Gators! Stop by the Campus Center Lobby today and tomorrow from 12-1 pm to create an academic game plan for finals with the NaviGator Peer Mentors and get some smart study tips to help minimize your stress. Sweet treats available while supplies last.

What’s a NaviGator? NaviGator Peer Mentors are here to help their fellow students navigate life at Allegheny College, from help with finding resources on campus to implementing better study skills and time management techniques.

This Saturday, the Allegheny women’s and men’s basketball teams will sponsor a toy drive in partnership with the Center for Family Services. The games are at 2 p.m. (women) and 4 p.m. (men) as the Gators host Waynesburg in Presidents’ Athletic Conference play.

All students will receive a ticket to be entered into a drawing for FREE Apple AirPods, with one set given away at each game. Plus, ANYONE that brings a new, unwrapped toy to be donated to CFS will receive a ticket as well.

That means students can receive two tickets good for the drawing at both games if they bring a toy, while anyone else who brings a new, unwrapped toy can receive a ticket as well!

We hope to see you there at Mullen Arena on Saturday to help cheer on the Gators and bring some holiday spirit to the Meadville community!

Note: Imitation weapons such as toy guns, etc. will not be accepted.

The Director of Writing seeks applications from students interested in joining the writing consultant staff. Consultants work with their peers on specific assignments as well as general writing concerns, and thus develop hands-on teaching experience. Most importantly, consultants help empower others to discover their potential as writers.

New consultants spend their first semester in an apprenticeship, under the guidance of an experienced consultant and attend professional development meetings to prepare them for the work.
All majors, including those who are still undeclared, are all eligible to apply. We also welcome multilingual speakers and writers to apply.

Required qualifications include an open mind, a willingness to learn, and an interest in helping others become stronger, more confident writers. While not required, a solid academic record, strong interpersonal skills, and a sense of humor are advantageous.

Applicants must be able to commit to staffing at least one two-hour shift per week, meeting with a “matched” writer for at least one hour per week, and attending a weekly one-hour professional development meeting, held on Wednesday evenings from 5:30-6:30 pm. Some writing consultants also serve as grammar tutors.

To apply, please complete the application form and submit a brief personal statement and a writing sample to Professor Hart at ahart@allegheny.edu. The deadline for applications is Monday, February 5, 2024.

What does it mean to gain the whole world, but forfeit your soul? How does that relate to things college students strive for: good grades, friends, success, reputation, fitting in…

Tonight at ACO, we dig into Mark 8 to see Jesus’ frustration with the religious people of His day, and sometimes even with His own followers. The good news is that Jesus doesn’t give up on those who really seek to understand Him, and describes what it means to “follow Him”.

All are welcome! ACO is a place for students to explore the Bible and pursue faith in Jesus – together. No past experience or belief are necessary! We meet on Tuesdays at 8:30 pm in Ford Chapel. Contact aco@allegheny.edu with questions.
