“I think we all have moments in our career where someone took a chance on us —someone took the time to go out of their way to talk to or mentor us. I know I’ve had those moments, and I can see the direct impact they’ve had on the path I’ve taken. When I consider what I can give back to Allegheny, I’d love to be that person for someone else.”

“When I think about the kind of impact I can have working with students, it’s all about broadening their horizons — often, you don’t really know what you can do or how high you can reach. I’m growing in my career, and I feel like it’s my duty to give back to the students that are currently here, so that they can go even farther and higher than I can.”

Kirsten Severiens Radivoyevitch ’87

Kirsten Severiens Radivoyevitch ’87 proudly embodies what it means to be In For Allegheny. She helps invite future Gators by serving as a Gator Greeting writer for accepted students and as a leader of the Cleveland Alumni Chapter, welcoming others into the Allegheny community. Kirsten also works to inspire students through her service as a Summer on the Cuyahoga volunteer, acting as an ambassador for student interns. She continues to invest in Allegheny’s future, supporting the College every year of the campaign with gifts to Immediate Impact Scholarships and Campus Improvements & Beautification.

When asked why she is in for Allegheny, Kirsten couldn’t give just one reason. Instead, she cited several—from the College’s academic strengths and faculty who work closely with students on individualized research topics, to the many leadership opportunities it offers; from the way Allegheny addresses global issues with a sense of hope, to how students learn to value both the big picture and the details. She shared, “I am honored to be considered part of Allegheny’s ‘triple threat’ group. My involvement as an alumna continues to be a meaningful part of my busy life. There is always room to support Allegheny!”

Thank you, Kirsten, for being such a terrific example of what it looks like to be In For Allegheny!

    “We always had Allegheny interns at my company. A number later became employees. I just feel like it’s a win-win, right? I get great joy and I get to see the students having opportunity and engagement in a business environment. It’s really an amazing experience.”
