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
College receives just a fraction of its revenues directly from state
government. Federal and state dollars are sometimes allocated to
specific projects or infrastructure needs. Tuition, which has failed to
keep pace with inflation over the past decade, accounts for a small
percentage of College revenues.
Alfred State College must rely on private donors to
support the rest - 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 - but not for the furnishings needed to bring those spaces
to life. Gifts and endowments also enable a college to weather the
inevitable "lean years," when budget cuts and competing priorities
result in greater challenges for public institutions.
