About the Conference
Welcome the stranger is an integral part of religious practices and cultural traditions around the world. As human beings, we long for the same things: love, shelter and a better life for our children. In this election year, with the political polemics of slamming doors and closing borders in the faces of people fleeing war, crippling poverty and suffering, our conference aspires to remind us of our common humanity and the role journalists play in reporting and sharing the stories of those seeking safety and a new place to call home. This is Allegheny College’s fourth annual journalism/multimedia conference.
