Allegheny is a unique place where students embrace the College's total
educational experience. Our students have the uncanny ability to
create unusual combinations of interests and talents. These "wonderfully
weird" combinations enhance our students' success here and ensure excellence
in their future careers.
Allegheny provides outstanding opportunities for students to grow in the true "liberal arts"
tradition through its top-notch programs and activities. In addition to your support, our students
have the support of a dedicated, caring and accessible faculty.
"New Generations of alumni provide the continuity that perpetuates a university. Its officers come and go, its faculty changes, its programs and buildings are
replaced, but its alumni maintain a lifelong relationship with the university." - Henry T. Herald, then president of the Ford Foundation, 1960.
"I begin this academic year, my first as president of Allegheny College, eager to meet as many students as possible. It is a privilege to be serving at one of the preeminent liberal arts colleges in the nation, and it's students like you who have helped earn us that reputation for excellence." - James H. Mullen, Jr., President, Allegheny College
