SHARING PIONEER PRIDE
THE LATEST NEWS AND EVENTS
For decades, Alfred State has been known for helping students "hit the ground running" to launch successful and fulfilling careers. On our campus, the signs of these learning-and-earning connections are everywhere as the college stays connected with employers to ensure that our hands-on learning is aligned with the skills most in demand among employers.
Students and parents choose Alfred State because of this obvious return on investment that pays off for graduates who have a career awaiting them after they walk across the stage at commencement. We are so proud of how alumni stay involved and help the college as Pioneers from every class can work together for a brighter future.
Dr. Mauro's Travels
Alfred State President Dr. Steven Mauro has kept his bags packed and has taken advantage of opportunities to meet with alumni and industry partners over the last few months. He has traveled all over New York and has made trips to Arizona, Florida, Maryland, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Texas during the spring 2024 semester.
Larry Allen, '65
While countless families have established strong educational connections with Alfred State College (ASC), the bond between Larry Allen, ’65, and his mother, Dorothy Allen Bailey, ’69, to each other and the college is particularly strong. This enduring connection will benefit nursing students for years to come.
Greg Haeseler, '78
Gregory Haeseler, '78, came to Alfred State College because he saw it as a new frontier. Because of his friendships, memories, and love of golf, he and his friends are giving back to future Pioneers.
Signing Day 2024

Dr. Carrie Cokely
Students at Alfred State College learn hands-on in their classes and labs, so it is fitting that Carrie Cokely, PhD and Vice President for Academic Affairs, did the same during her first year on the job.
College Headlines
Remember Alfred's single intersection with a stoplight? This year our small village celebrated 50 years since the installation of a traffic light. That event signaled how Alfred had come of age and is big enough to warrant stopping along your way. The small-town charm has even earned recognition as the #1 Ultimate College Town by The Washington Post for the highest concentration of students in the US. Alfred has only 4,026 counted in the US Census while we are also home to more than 4,000 students.
