Alfred State will host a free alumni event from 5-7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 3, at the David A. Howe Public Library, 155 N. Main St., Wellsville.
The event provides an opportunity for the 700 alumni residing in Wellsville and the surrounding areas to meet and greet College President Dr. Skip Sullivan and one another.
Alumni will also have the chance to learn about Alfred State’s 19 baccalaureate and 50 associate-level programs, its 800-acre working farm, its move to NCAA Division III athletics, and the NYSUNY 2020 Challenge Grant Program, which will help fund a Sustainable Advanced Manufacturing Center (SAMC) at the School of Applied Technology.
Students at the SAMC will be trained in state-of-the-art techniques of sustainable manufacturing, including advanced lighting, HVAC, and process improvements through waste reduction and LEAN Six Sigma processes. The SAMC will be designed and constructed to minimize the energy typically used in manufacturing and will also serve as a prototype to assist manufacturers in developing new products and systems in a sustainable environment.
