Support Admission
Dear Antioch Alumni & Friends,
Antioch College has always been a place for students who don’t just imagine a better world—they build it. As someone who found my purpose here (both as a student and now as Dean of Admission), I know firsthand the power of this community. Antiochians are thinkers, doers, and relentless change-makers. And right now, we need your help to find the next generation of them.
The students we seek aren’t just looking for a degree—they’re looking for an education that means something. They’re the kind of learners who ask tough questions, who thrive through hands-on work, and who aren’t afraid to challenge the status quo. Sound familiar? That’s because you were once that student. And chances are, you know someone like that too—a young person who’d thrive at Antioch, if only they knew it existed.
That’s where you come in. Whether you nominate a future Antiochian, drop off materials at a local school, or table at an event in your community, you’re ensuring this College keeps transforming lives for generations to come. Plus, every action you take supports our 175 Campaign—helping secure Antioch’s next era.
Let’s pass the torch. Below, you will find more information about how you can get involved.
Very respectfully,
Shane Creepingbear ’08
