Brett Bodine has taken a rather different road in life, a steeply-banked blacktop road in two-mile lengths, with an ever-present left curve just ahead. And in Brett’s world, “a reasonable pace” means pushing a 750-horsepower car to speeds of nearly 200 miles per hour for hundreds of miles almost every weekend. Welcome to the world according to Brett Bodine, NASCAR Winston Cup driver and 1979 Alfred State College graduate.
Most of us travel down life's highway at a reasonable pace, taking time to appreciate the smooth straightaways and even enjoying the occasional surprise curve.

Yes, the Alfred State College Development Fund is a
federally-recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Gifts to the
College are therefore tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
Like most other public universities, Alfred State receives less than one-third of its revenues directly from state government. At times, federal and state dollars are allocated to specific projects or infrastructure needs. Tuition accounts for a small percentage of College revenues.
Alfred State must rely on private donations to support the remaining needs - everything from scholarships to faculty hiring and retention to equipment for classrooms and laboratories. When new buildings are built, state funds pay for the actual cost of construction - not for the furnishings needed to bring those spaces to life. Gifts and endowments provide financial strength to Alfred State.
