Gateway




Gateway 

The Allegheny Gateway supports students as they explore their interests, turn those interests into experience, and then apply what they’ve learned to opportunities both in their careers and in their communities. By participating in multiple, significant Gateway offerings, Allegheny students refine their career aspirations and clarify their vocations. They develop a clear vision of who they are in the world, an inclusive and global perspective, and the commitment to be citizen-leaders addressing the complexities of the modern world. They graduate as professionals who will be much more than their professions.

Civic Engagement provides structures, programs and resources to support student and faculty engagement in Meadville and beyond. These offerings are designed with diverse and multiple entry points within and outside the curriculum. The goal is to foster a pervasive Allegheny culture of civic mindedness.
