McGregor Welcomes Students on New Campus

James Russel from Kettering is browsing the book store on his first day of class at Antioch University McGregor. It’s usual preparation for an entering master’s student, only this time, it’s not just the students that are new to the turf.

According to Debra Oswald, head librarian at the Olive Kettering Library, “All of us make up OhioLink, so there’s not an OhioLink that you subscribe to. It’s all of these libraries pooling our resources, sharing our collections, and cooperating.’’

Alumni Organize Art Benefit to Save College

The New York City chapter of alumni invites submissions for an art show to benefit the College Revival Fund. The exhibition, entitled Antioch Postcard Project, will be shown from November 3 through December 31 at the Casa Frea Gallery in Harlem and feature artwork created on 5 x 7 postcards. The show is expected to garner a significant amount of attention and will hopefully raise the profile of the Antioch College community. Each postcard will sell for $50,00 and all proceeds will benefit the Revival Fund. All community members are encouraged to submit their artwork by the October 12 deadline. Submissions can be entered to Steven Duffy, who will mail the postcards in bulk to the gallery.
