Antioch Receives Mellon Grants
By Rachel Moulton ’97
The Mellon Foundation recently announced that Antioch College
is the recipient of two $50,000 grants. The grants will go
to support the development of the College
web site and the work of the
Renewal Commission.
The first grant, awarded in January of 2004, goes to support
an updated look for online College communications that is
consistently maintained and enhances the work of Admissions,
Public Relations and Development. The new and constantly evolving
web site can be visited at www.antioch-college.edu. The grant
funds the position of Assistant Director of Electronic Communications.
Already the impact of this grant is clear, as the website
is changing and developing every day. Check out What’s
New on the Site and find out about current events—Reunion
2004, the Courage Exhibit, the Campaign for Antioch College,
Sesquicentennial events, and much more.
The second $50,000 grant, awarded in February of 2004, will
support the work of the College’s Renewal Commission.
More specifically, it will fund focus groups of stuents, parents
and educators to help with research and development. These
are both prestigious gifts that will allow Antioch to move
forward, continue making change, and attract future Antioch
graduates.
