One year after receiving a transformational $15 million endowment, Allegheny College’s Community Impact Hub (CIH or The Hub) is delivering strong, measurable impact, both for Crawford County communities and for Allegheny students gaining real-world experience through hands-on, community-engaged learning.
Colleges and the towns they inhabit are a little like bees and flowers. Both need the other to flourish. The cross-pollination between Allegheny and Meadville delivers a diverse range of opportunities for the region and for students and faculty. The result is a healthy, resilient ecosystem for life and learning.
President Ron Cole was recently featured in Academic Leader in an article focused on how academic leaders and institutions can drive regional economic development by actively engaging with local communities, businesses, and government stakeholders.
Institutions of higher education can play a transformative role in the economic sustainability of the regions that they call home. Colleges and universities need to position themselves to create thriving ecosystems based on legacy industries and the emerging technologies that will define how those industries transition into viable 21st-century operations.
