“You are an open-minded, open-hearted individual who approached this position as a person who came here to start a listening tour to make sure you drew everyone into your circle so you could find out about Alfred State yourself.
Steve Mauro’s vigor, his vision, and his intention to bring this institution forward in a way that honors the past but brings it into the future will be a great success by always putting students at the heart of the endeavor. I think this will be a winning combination for all of you!”

"This inauguration is a celebration of not only one individual, but the entire college community and all that we represent. A strong dedication to students and quality education is precisely why I believe Alfred State College is the perfect home for me.
As a SUNY alumnus myself, who believes in the promise of higher education, my work is to continue the great success already found at ASC and to build on that momentum working with faculty, staff, students, parents, alumni, and the community.”
