One thing I’ve noticed as a freshman on this campus is that the college fails to recognize students’ struggles to pay for their healthcare. The biggest problem I’ve noticed is that the copay for services is too expensive. If a student is paying $2,000 for the insurance out of pocket, it wouldn’t be crazy to assume that the healthcare they receive would be accessible. Spoiler alert: It’s not.

One thing I’ve noticed as a freshman on this campus is that the college fails to recognize students’ struggles to pay for their healthcare. Arguably though, the student health insurance, which students are required to have if they don’t have outside insurance, doesn’t actually provide the ne...

The day after polls opened across America, Vice President Kamala Harris conceded the 2024 presidential election to 34-time felon Donald Trump. In my opinion, the celebration of this political victory signals a cultural apathy, and in some cases aggression, toward women and children who are victims of physical, sexual and emotional abuse. This win makes clear that concerns of public policy, broader conservative principles and individual economic status hold more weight to the average voter than the protection of victims.

The day after polls opened across America, Vice President Kamala Harris conceded the 2024 presidential election to 34-time felon Donald Trump. Unlike his first victory over a woman for the presidency, he won the election convincingly, sweeping the seven swing states and securing the popular vote —...

The American people have spoken and chosen a path for the next four years. Nonetheless, the topic of this election is likely to creep into conversation for most families’ Thanksgiving meals. While we may be wary of that certain uncle or aunt with their outspoken views, it is important to recognize that it is not that deep. This is not to trivialize the importance of political conversation and civic duties in general, but rather a call to understand what family and politics mean, and whether they are meant to go hand in hand.

I did not vote this election cycle, but that is because I am not a citizen and thus not allowed to. As a matter of fact, I have never been allowed to vote in American elections. In the aftermath of this election, naturally, individuals and families alike are going through a range of emotions. Some.....

For 30 years, former Acutec Precision Aerospace CEO Rob Smith watched as a set of abandoned buildings crumbled into the wetlands surrounding Spring Street and Race Street in Meadville’s Fifth Ward neighborhood. Now, thanks to a redevelopment vision shared by Smith, the Crawford County Historical Society, arts organizations, a variety of small businesses and Allegheny Environmental Science & Sustainability students, the property is on track to reclaim its former hustle and bustle as soon as June 2025.

The Merrick Archives Center holds many treasures of Allegheny’s past. Located on the second floor of the Lawrence Lee Pelletier Library, the Archival Center is home to materials from Allegheny’s history, like the literary journal The Fourth Wall, published from 1990 to 1994 and Allegheny’s original library collection.

The Allegheny Student Government heard from guest speaker Chief Information Officer Katrina Yeung about the recent launch of GatorHub at its General Assembly on Nov. 19. Yeung communicated several key details regarding the new GatorHub interface. Students were polled last year on what they would like to see out of a successor to the MyAllegheny website, and the resulting opinion was “something Instagram-like,” according to Yeung.
