When I feel like I need to clear my mind, I always end up going for a walk around campus. I, for one, love Allegheny’s older, classic architecture. Allegheny’s much smaller campus size and older designs make us stand out compared to large state schools. When I am walking around campus, I always enjoy looking at all of the architecture, even though I’ve already been going to Allegheny for two years now. 90 percent of the time, I end up walking or chilling by the creaky old wooden bridge on the south side of campus.

Transgender people make up less than one percent of the American population, with even fewer of us taking part in sports, holding positions of power and working steady jobs, according to the UCLA Williams Institute. With a population so low, surely our existence won’t matter too much in the grand scheme of political rhetoric. Yet, we are the center of attention when “everything” goes wrong. Executive orders earlier this year repealing diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts and restoring “merit-based opportunity” have cost transgender and cisgender people access to jobs and government positions. False stereotypes, like that transgender men are “angry and aggressive” because of their testosterone levels and that transgender women “harass women in bathrooms,” plague social media, news outlets and government reports, inducing statewide panic and creating an easy target to divert attention away from a suffering country riddled with political divide.

Last year, I asked hundreds of students, faculty and staff to participate in a simple word exercise — what three words come to mind when I say “Allegheny College?” Time and again, one word stood at the center of their responses: community.

As we move into Fall Break, I invite you to join me in renewing our long-standing commitment to education rooted in respect, inclusion and learning freely with the courage to learn from one another. When we stand united as a learning community, showing the enduring power of education, we strengthen not only Allegheny but the future of our democracy.

What does economic redevelopment smell like? One month after the frozen yogurt store Cup n’ Spoon’s soft opening in August at its second location just off Spring Street and Race Street in Cussewago Square, its interior is still characterized by the fresh, clean scent of cut lumber. Reclaimed timbers as wide as telephone poles run the length of its ground floor, supporting a pressed tin ceiling that glints in the sunlight that streams through five large wood-framed windows. Exposed brickwork makes up the store’s interior walls. Together, these elements subtly pay homage to the building’s previous life as a distillery in the late 1800s, even as the building’s activities now center around a very different kind of flavorful treat.

Students, faculty and community members were lined nearly out the door waiting to have their newly purchased books of poetry signed following Sarah Ghazal Ali’s poetry reading Thursday, Sept. 18, in the Tillotson room of the Tippie Alumni Center.

Ali, winner of the 2025 Great Lakes Colleges Association New Writers Award in Poetry, was invited to present her poetry collection, “Theophanies,” as Allegheny’s first reader in the 2025-2026 Single Voice Reading series, an annual presentation by the English department in which writers are invited to exhibit their work to budding creatives and community members alike.

Students gathered on the Gator quad Saturday afternoon for the annual “Wingfest,” hosted by Gator Activities Programming. The event featured a football-themed celebration of flavor, community and competition.
One of the standout competitors this year was Patrick Sharp, ’26, who won decisively in the second round. “It’s been two years,” Sharp said. “I had to come out of retirement and show up, I had to win. Had to do it for Coach Mourer.”

The recent removal of parking for Allegheny students on John Street by North Village was counterbalanced by a new allowance for students living in NV. Students are now permitted to park in Lot 11, the parking lot just south of NV that was previously reserved for Caflisch Hall. However, that lot is soon to see changes as well.

“We are planning on splitting Lot 11 to Lot 11A and 11B,” said Mark Weindorf, director of Public Safety. “There will be enough spots to cover the loss of parking on John Street for NV residents. However, a majority of the lot will be solely for OC (off campus).”

Allegheny College is the first liberal arts institution in the U.S. to develop a comprehensive program of microcredentials, offering students a unique and marketable way to showcase the skills they acquire during their time at Allegheny.

The initiative, launched in fall 2023 by Assistant Provost for Academic Innovation Byron Rich and Director of Foundation & Corporate Relations Amber Pouliot, ’07, includes 28 microcredentials ranging from artificial intelligence engineering to filmmaking and media production, German language and culture, and art history fundamentals.

Allegheny Student Government met on Tuesday to consider the recognition of a new club, Rhythm Nation, and discuss regular reports and business.

This General Assembly was not livestreamed, despite Director of Communication and Press Jake Slater, ’26, stating two weeks ago that he planned to livestream all GAs going forward to improve accessibility.

One month into Pine Market’s new 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. schedule and expanded inventory, student opinion about the store remains mixed.

“It’s different now without it being overnight,” Hovel said. “Students who are studying overnight don’t have that option anymore. But, we see a large increase while the students are able to go versus last year. During the day it wasn’t as popular; it was more popular towards the evening. Now, I feel like it’s more popular throughout the day.”

One month into Pine Market’s new 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. schedule and expanded inventory, student opinion about the store remains mixed. Cozmo Gallegos, ’28, goes to Pine Market every day. “I love Pine Market, it’s great,” Gallegos said. “It has everything I ever need.” Gallegos was annoyed ...
