“Alfred State has put forth a mission of enhancing learning through hands-on experiences while engaging students to be involved in a caring community. As a Nutrition course, I feel it’s our responsibility to bring awareness to food insecurity and support efforts to combat it. My students had the opportunity to participate in organizing, designing, selling, and preparing meals.”

“What a wonderful day. The weather was beautiful, and we had record numbers of our student-athletes helping run the events. This event gets better every year, and it is by far one of my favorite days of the school year. The smiles and high fives are the best part of the day.”

Anne Holmok

“We have some very motivated student leaders and supportive faculty and staff that help to make these events possible. The opportunities to give have been created and it is my hope that our campus community gets involved in these initiatives, ensuring that all of these Spring into Action efforts are a success.”

“We were able to help paint another house with Monisha and learn her story. Seeing her face when she saw all the walls up on her house made the whole trip worth it.”

"The Project Prom Dress Extravaganza means a great deal to local families and the sisters of Delta Chi Omega have worked hard to keep this initiative a mainstay for our community. The Center for Civic Leadership is proud to have this event kickstart our campus Spring into Action week and appreciate all the donors and student that make this event possible year after year.”

“I felt fortunate to be able to take a fantastic group of students and be part of something much bigger than ourselves. It was an eye-opening experience for everyone when you see how much still needs to be done in the area. I could not be prouder of the students that went and how they represented themselves and the college.”

“It is great to partner with Student Senate and Civic Leadership on this initiative as another way that University Police and students are all on the same team. We are thankful for the partnership we have with our students and our community. Positive student involvement with our officers is crucial as we all work to keep our campus safe.”

Police Chief Jeff Wilcox

“We are so excited to have this new space to provide much needed services to our students. We are appreciative of everyone that worked so hard to make this a reality. We now have a home that allows visitors to access the services we offer within our department.”
