Listen Live to the ACCC Community Meeting!

The Antioch College Continuation Corporation (ACCC) will discuss progress towards the goal of an independent Antioch College at a Community Meeting in Yellow Springs on Saturday, January 26th at 10:00 a.m. The ACCC– a group of former university trustees, major donors and alumni leaders, all of whom are Antioch College alumni — was recently formed to explore the feasibility of separating Antioch College from Antioch University.

We are live-streaming the Community Meeting with the ACCC on Saturday, January 26, starting at 10 a.m. EST. The discussion on campus can be heard here.

Save-the-Date

Eric Bates, co-chair of the ACCC, will answer your questions (submitted by email and instant message) in a live-stream on this website on the weekend of February 9th-10th. Stay tuned for further details and a specific time, to be determined.

Eric looks forward to answering any questions you have about these remarkable developments, and to working together to make the goal of an independent Antioch College a reality

Antioch College Homecoming / Reunion 2.0

In a mere 4 weeks, the Antioch University Board of Trustees (BoT) and the Antioch College Alumni Board (AB) will engage in historic meetings on campus to discuss the future of Antioch College. We don’t want them to feel lonely, so there is no better time… for HOMECOMING! October 25-28, come to Yellow Springs for a plethora of activities, from Homecoming Div to Community meeting in response to the BoT/AB negotiations to everything in between.

Some things to note:

  1. Bookmark this link and check back often: www.antiochians.org/homecoming
  2. Accommodations: If you are able to secure your own, Do So Now! There are 25 hotel rooms reserved at the Holiday Inn in Xenia for the 26th & 27th. There’s John Bryan State Park and the golf course for camping. There are lots of kind people in Yellow Springs who might be willing to offer floor space. If none of these work for you, email homecoming@antiochians.org.
  3. Food: Be ready to cook in Birch or Mills, and/or to support YS businesses. We’re not yet sure if the Caf is able to accommodate an influx of eaters. Stay tuned for updates.
  4. Donations: CG needs your support. The suggestion donation for attending Homecoming is $25.00 – more if you can, less if you can’t. CG has it’s own bank account now and information is forthcoming on a Paypal option. You can also pay by cash or check upon arrival in YS.
  5. Look for information in the next week about where to sign up so we can get a head count.
