Podcast: Gators on Purpose
Welcome to Gators on Purpose, a podcast celebrating Allegheny College alumni who embody the power of pairing passion with challenge. At Allegheny, being a Gator on Purpose means shaping your own extraordinary path—where unusual major and minor combinations lead to meaningful careers and lives grounded in purpose.
As one of the few schools that ask students to major and minor in different academic areas, Allegheny College graduates excel everywhere from Wall Street to Hollywood, NASA to Washington, D.C. Each guest will bring their unique story of where these “unusual combinations” have taken them since graduation.
Your Host
Host Briana Lewis, Ph.D, Faculty Liaison to the Center for Career & Professional Development (CCPD) and Associate Professor of French, talks with interesting and influential alumni about their extraordinary journeys, and how Allegheny set them on their unique path.
Original Theme Music
Reflecting Allegheny’s culture of interdisciplinary studies, Gators on Purpose features original theme music composed by Dominic Juliana ’26, a chemistry major and music minor. The intro music is performed by Wendy Plyler, adjunct music instructor, highlighting the collaborative spirit between students and faculty that defines the Allegheny experience.
