Dear Alfred State Alumni and Friends,
I hope this message finds you well! I am thrilled to introduce myself as the new Director of Annual Giving and Alumni Relations at Alfred State College. As a 2001 graduate, coming from a role as an Associate Director of Admissions here at ASC, it is an honor to move into an exciting new role at such a vibrant community that I have called home for over twenty years. I look forward to connecting with all of you.
Our office's goal is to strengthen our alumni network and help to enhance your engagement with the college. I am eager to hear your stories, understand your experiences, and explore ways to support our current students while honoring the legacy of those who came before us.
Stay tuned for upcoming events and initiatives aimed at bringing our alumni community closer together. If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to reach out to me directly.
Thank you for your continued support of Alfred State College. I am excited about the journey ahead and look forward to working with you all!
Sincerely,
