Gator Day 2022 was a huge success, with 280 students engaging in activities last October! Students shared that they “enjoyed the active learning sessions,” “the sense of community among peers,” and “the opportunity to connect with faculty and staff outside the classroom.”

The Student Experience Division is excited to announce that it is currently accepting program proposals for 50-minute workshop sessions for Gator Day 2023 on Tuesday, October 24! This year’s theme is “This is Your Story.”

Gator Day is an annual fall tradition at Allegheny, where classes are canceled, and students can attend conference-style sessions that foster their academic and professional development. This year students will also be able to run many on-campus errands in our one-stop student services shop called “The Gator’Done Den.”

All members of the campus community (faculty, staff, and students) are encouraged to submit their program proposals focused on academic and professional development for students in one or twelve categories outlined in the program proposal online submission form. Only programs that match one or more of these categories will be accepted.

The deadline to submit the proposal is Wednesday, September 20, 2023, by 5 pm. The online Gator Day 2023 submission form can be found here.

Questions about Gator Day 2023, the proposal form/process, or presentation needs should be directed to Dr. Jonathon May, Chair of the Gator Day Steering Committee, at jmay@allegheny.edu

Gator Gatherings will take a hiatus in June and July. Watch for the next gathering in August!

A friendly reminder to all faculty, staff, and student researchers who plan to conduct research involving human subjects this summer, your work must be approved by the IRB.

If you plan to conduct human subjects research this summer, let the IRB know (irb@allegheny.edu). Knowing how many proposals must be reviewed and when allows the IRB to plan. The IRB would appreciate it if all proposals for summer research were submitted in May (early June at the latest).

The IRB is happy to consult with researchers before submission of a proposal. Contact the IRB if you have questions or would like assistance completing your proposal (irb@allegheny.edu).
