The Pittsburgh Business Times featured Allegheny College in a conversation with President Ron Cole. Cole spoke with reporter Ethan Lott about a healthy endowment, and a range of impact that Allegheny College has on area alumni and on generations of students from the Pittsburgh area.
Allegheny College was founded on a June evening in 1815 on the northwestern frontier where Pennsylvania meets New York and Ohio. Its first fundraising campaign started the very next day. More than two centuries later, Allegheny College has embarked on its most ambitious campaign, intending to raise at least $250 million over five years to support the college’s strategic pathway.
Allegheny College today announced it has exceeded expectations on progress for its comprehensive campaign, “In for Allegheny: Our Pathway Forward,” securing an additional $91 million in gifts in the past 12 months toward the College’s largest campaign ever.
I have two questions for alumni and friends after enjoying the latest edition of the Allegheny magazine — what unites us, and what do we stand for? I’ll answer in two words: Allegheny College.
President Cole stressed our shared heritage as a common ground that binds our community. Our unique landmarks are part of what tie us together.
