“We are excited to welcome back alumni for a fun-filled weekend. Not only will attendees get the opportunity to stay at the renovated MacKenzie Complex, they will be able to join the community as we celebrate the only traffic light in town on its birthday.”

Lynda Merring, George Merry, Julie Rose, and Erin Vitale were honored for earning SUNY Chancellor Awards at the annual Alfred State Employee Recognition Celebration.

Celebrate Alfred on Saturday, June 8 at 6 p.m. for THE Traffic Light Festival. 

Alfred is small enough that only one intersection needs a traffic light. However, Alfred makes a big name for itself attracting such a high concentration of students that the Washington Post named picture-perfect Alfred the #1 Ultimate College Town in the US.

I ask the Alfred State community to take a moment to reflect on the individuals who made the ultimate sacrifice.

“Over 50 years of service, her dedication and skills are examples for other professors to follow. All of us benefit from her caring spirit. She truly cares for the emotional health, academic achievement, and wellbeing of each Pioneer who has been lucky enough to be in her class.”

Dr. Steven Mauro

“Weather played a role with archers needing to adapt to changing temperature, precipitation, intermittent wind, and even unexpected night shooting. The team stayed focused with each change.”

“The Power Wagon gets so much attention. We hope to move from Kentucky to Maine with minimal problems. The students this year focused on getting the truck back together. We really built it to make it reliable. It has to drive 2,300 miles all the way up the east coast.”

Caryl Koch

“I know it has been a long journey for us all, but we made it, we graduated. With this we all start a new chapter in our journey. Don’t forget that you didn’t go to school and get the degree you have now for your friends, you got this degree and committed to all that hard work for yourself.”

“The competition was both challenging and exciting. We were tasked with trying to figure out a farm's biggest areas of improvement and make a presentation the next day to a panel of judges, which required a lot of brainstorming, creativity, and teamwork. Working with students from other colleges was a unique experience. It was fascinating to see the different perspectives and skills each person brought to the team.”

Three major projects of note are a total re-invention of the Agriculture Science Building, improvements to all campus roads, and updated underground infrastructure. Over a one-decade period 2016-2026, Alfred State investments will surpass $200 million.

"Students had to work together to research and analyze the issue from multiple angles to determine exactly what the problem was and then propose possible solutions to administrators to improve it. For many students this was their first time working on a real problem and project of this magnitude. They were especially excited that the project was something tangible that could improve life here at Alfred State.”

Since the 2010-2011 academic year, the Foundation has provided funding to the college’s peer tutoring program. As a result, the program has fulfilled more than 2,482 student requests, providing more than 14,351 hours of support.

“Alfred State has put forth a mission of enhancing learning through hands-on experiences while engaging students to be involved in a caring community. As a Nutrition course, I feel it’s our responsibility to bring awareness to food insecurity and support efforts to combat it. My students had the opportunity to participate in organizing, designing, selling, and preparing meals.”

Jennifer Ross

“What a wonderful day. The weather was beautiful, and we had record numbers of our student-athletes helping run the events. This event gets better every year, and it is by far one of my favorite days of the school year. The smiles and high fives are the best part of the day.”

Anne Holmok

“I am so proud of my team. The team’s performance was amazing, and I am impressed with the growth I have seen in this young group this season. I want to thank my assistant coach Mike Oyer and our equipment manager/alternate Gunner Schwabenbauer for all their efforts. They were key to our growth and success.”

Head Coach Scott Bingham

“I have seen countless of my peer’s struggle, and it has inspired me to do my best. To see my hard work paying off is truly a blessing. I am nowhere near where I want to be in the future yet, receiving this award tells me that I am getting closer to my goal.”
