If someone asked me, “Why Allegheny?” I’d tell them it’s because this place is more than just a college, it’s a community that truly cares about its students. From the professors who go above and beyond, to the coaches who make sure you feel supported, to the unexpected acts of kindness you experience everyday, Allegheny is a place where people are invested in your success. It’s a place that challenges you academically, supports you personally and prepares you for a future where anything is possible.

When I first thought about college, I imagined a busy, fast-paced city full of excitement. I had my expectations set on somewhere big, thinking that’s where I’d find the opportunities, the excitement and the kind of college experience that matched my city roots. But then, I found Allegheny Colle...

The funniest days are when I go from Oddfellows to Bentley Hall because one building has fancy, automatic glass doors with an elevator and the other one has masking tape holding the main entrance door’s wood together. It’s like spending one night away at a luxury hotel with complimentary breakfast and then spending the next in a tent with one blanket and a roll of toilet paper.

As an avid fan of Tom Hanks’ 1980s romantic comedies, there’s a film I genuinely laugh out loud at every time I think about it. “The Money Pit” is the story of a fixer-upper where the needed repairs grow increasingly extensive and expensive, and if you’ve ever seen it you’ll know about t...

Christopher Bell rallied for an overtime win Sunday at Atlanta Motor Speedway, capturing the Ambetter Health 400 for his 10th career NASCAR Cup Series victory, according to USA Today on Feb. 23.
“My teachers always used to say ‘the bell doesn’t dismiss you, I do,’” Bell said. “Now it’s my turn to use that.”

Reuters reported on Feb. 23 that the Christian Democratic Union has won over 28% of the vote in the German elections, with the Alternative for Deutschland coming in second, garnering over 20% of the vote.

Allegheny Student Government opened with an address from Allegheny College President Ron Cole, ’87.
As of Feb. 25, “There’s nothing in any of the EO’s or guidance letters that have come out that require Allegheny to make any changes or that are having any direct impact on our operations. Let me be clear on that, so we’re not making any preemptive changes, we’re not going to change things if we don’t need to, and we may not need to make any changes” said Cole. Further explaining the college’s approach to policy and orders, Cole said “Be active and responsive, not reactive or preemptive.”

I met my younger self for coffee. It’s 2018 and it’s her first time at Starbucks. I can buy my own coffee now, and she relied on the gift cards she got for being overly involved. It was a $10 gift card, and she kept telling me how excited she was that she could afford a vanilla bean frappuccino after all these years. I smiled at her and we sat down. I asked her how she did it; she said she won this award at her summer program and they gave her the gift card to make up for forgetting to announce her name at the award ceremony. I told her we won that award every summer until we aged out, and now we’re teaching for the same program at a different location this summer. She told me she didn’t know we would make it this far.

West Mead township has approved a waste transfer, according to The Meadville Tribune on Feb. 13.
“We’re sad to see waste go but it was time and we’re being compensated handsomely for the departure,” said a West Mead township official. “The transfer fee has yet to be revealed but West Mead management are saying the price made the deal more than worthwhile.”

Politico reported on Feb. 14 that Democratic Rep. Haley Stevens eyes open Michigan senate seat. “I was just staring off into the distance when I made eye contact with the seat,” Stevens said. “It started folding and unfolding and flipping all around until it opened itself up.”   West Mead t...

According to the Department of Energy & Environmental Protection, the average college student produces 640 pounds of solid waste each year, but inside Allegheny’s Gator Green Living Community, Allegheny students prove that number doesn’t have to be the norm. Through composting, energy conservation and eco-conscious habits, they’re redefining what it means to live on campus without leaving behind a footprint.
