Alfred State College President Dr. John M. Anderson recently welcomed returning and new faculty and staff back to campus for the spring semester. Among the topics he addressed were his trip to China as part of a SUNY delegation invited by the Chinese government as a thank you for hosting the 150 Chinese students whose studies were interrupted by an earthquake in Sichuan province in 2008, the accomplishments of the College over the past year, and the outlook for the upcoming semester and beyond. Additionally, Anderson introduced a new presidential award, “The Innovation Award,” and presented it to its inaugural recipient green home laboratory addition to the facility at Alfred State’s School of Applied Technology campus to accommodate the demand for training and showcase the craftsmanship of the students and the renewable technologies currently being taught throughout the programs. He has great interest in closing the gap between the electrical trade industry and the PV industry. Stevens holds two associate of occupational studies degrees from Alfred State College: construction and maintenance electrician and plumbing, heating, and air conditioning, ’91 and ’93, respectively.
