Dear Alfred State Community,

Today and every day, we honor and thank the men and women who have served, and continue to serve, our nation. Their courage, sacrifice, and commitment help protect the freedoms we enjoy.

I encourage you to take a moment today to reflect on the service and sacrifice of our nation's veterans and to express your gratitude whenever you have the opportunity. Their contributions have helped shape and safeguard our country in countless ways.

At Alfred State, we are proud to have veterans among our students, faculty, and staff. Their leadership, dedication, and experiences enrich our campus community and inspire those around them.

I invite you to join us in recognizing and celebrating our veterans through the following activities:

  • 7 AM – Noon – Veterans in the School of Applied Technology are encouraged to grab a breakfast treat (coffee and donuts) in the H-Building Veterans Lounge
  • 10:50 AM – Instrumental Music Director JD Struckmann will perform at the Hinkle Bell Tower.
  • 11:50 AM – The Bell Tower will play the Armed Forces Medley in tribute to all who have served.

If you are a student veteran, I encourage you to consider joining ASC Veterans United. The organization provides an opportunity to build connections, support fellow veterans, and strengthen our campus community.

Respectfully,

Dr. Steven Mauro, Ph.D.
President
