Graduating Alfred State students celebrated the jobs they will start after commencement at the second annual Signing Day. The event organized by the Career Development office highlighted ASC students launching their new careers.
“This was such a fun event,” commented Director of Career Planning & Development Maureen Sibble. “It was amazing to have employers on campus to celebrate their new hires. We have worked with many of these students throughout their time here and to see them smiling while interacting with their new employer is quite rewarding.”
