My Allegheny

Want to be part of the Hillel board? Well now you can, apply to be a board member here! Applications are due December 8!

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 last day of drop-in tutoring for the fall semester is Tuesday, December 12. Email cshipley@allegheny.edu with any questions.

There are still open positions for Allegheny students to serve in the Friday middle and high school Allegheny Enrichment Program on the Allegheny campus. Interns must be exceptionally reliable and dependable. They must be available from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Fridays and have Pennsylvania State Clearances completed to work with children.

Note that the funding comes from the public schools and does not count as part of the Allegheny work award. If you are interested in serving as an intern, or would like more information, please contact Betsy Getschman at bgetschman@allegheny.edu or call 814 332 2728.

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.

The Office of Marketing and Communications is seeking students interested in doing either a takeover or developing a day-in-the-life video next semester, which would be highlighted on Allegheny College’s social media. Students who participate will be given a free t-shirt!

If interested, email kfrazier@allegheny.edu to inquire!

We are conducting a research study on diversity, equity, and inclusion at Allegheny College and we invite you to participate. We are holding listening sessions to discuss the campus climate and issues related to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

This student-led session will take place Thursday (11/30) at 5 pm in the IDEAS Center Extension on the 3rd floor of the Campus Center. Snacks will be provided.

The benefits of this research for participants include providing the campus with feedback to improve our DEI efforts. The main risks involved in participation come from psychological discomfort from engaging in these conversations. As a participant in this research, your identity will remain confidential in any reports or work resulting from this research. You can access the consent form here to review before the session.

The principal investigators for this project are Dean Heather Moore Roberson, and Tarah Williams. If you have any questions about your participation in this study, you can email the principal investigators at hroberson@allegheny.edu or twilliams@allegheny.edu. If you have questions about your rights as a research participant, you can contact the Allegheny IRB (irb@allegheny.edu).

If you would prefer not to attend a listening session but would still like to relay information to our team, we encourage you to use the Google Form that can be accessed here.
