Dr. Carrie Cokely

"My experience with the STAR program was profound in my understanding of architecture and my development in designing capabilities. When learning about the materials we use every day to construct a building we often forget the process behind making it. Every terra cotta tile has a long exact process to create it. Seeing the process has been eye opening and something I will never forget.”

Connor Welsh

“I feel like we have really shown what you can accomplish within the set bounds and design criteria that we were given for senior projects. I really hope to come back one day and see even greater future senior projects.”

 “As a person who has been on his journey for 53 years, I would tell you to enjoy the ride. There are going to be a lot of great times and some hard and sad times. Embrace and learn from those hard times.”

Frankie Harris

"Recently, at commencement, I looked out at all the proud parents who were there to celebrate the milestone for our students. I share their excitement because I know what a tremendous job our faculty have done educating them on the skills, they know employers are looking for when hiring. Students at Alfred State are learning real-world skills that prepare them for great-paying careers.”

Dr. Steven Mauro

“This project began as a question and evolved into something far more meaningful than I anticipated. It gave me the opportunity to think differently about water, change, and how we design for uncertainty. This experience will continue to shape my work going forward.”

Katie Petix

“Like my experience, many of you have faced challenges that seemed impossible at the time. But today, we can look back and appreciate how far we’ve come. So, whether we’re diving into careers, further studies, or something else entirely, we’re ready for anything. As we walk across this stage, let’s celebrate this milestone as just one of many in our future.”

Alyssa James

“The data makes it clear, choosing Alfred State is a smart and strategic investment. A top-tier 10-year ROI shows how quickly our graduates see the payoff from their education. With high-demand programs and employers eager to hire even before graduation, our students launch great-paying careers without the burden of overwhelming debt."

Kishan Zuber

“This is one of many examples of how people and groups have supported Alfred State. In turn, we are able to make use of this great support to provide educational excellence to students.”
