Thank you for providing hands-on education in and out of the classroom. Our students are learning real world skills as they prepare to become the next generation of workers and leaders.

“My life and those of thousands of Alfred State College students, faculty, and staff are all richer having been influenced and inspired by the life’s work of Pat Fogarty. For more than three decades, it has been her vision and desire to help others that catapulted Alfred State, Allegany County, and all of Western New York forward as she took a genuine interest in helping those in need, finding ways to improve their lives and empower generations to take the next step to a brighter future.”

Dr. Steve Mauro.

“This is an exciting time to be part of Alfred State. We have achieved so much in my brief time here. I look forward to working towards the goals of our new strategic plan and continuing the excellent work being done in and out of our classrooms.”

“Dr. Hunter led the college during such an important time. He started the groundwork of what we are today with the development of bachelor’s degree programs and the building of the Student Development Center, which is so appropriately named after him. I am honored and humbled to follow in the footsteps of leaders like Dr. Hunter who are cornerstones of what Alfred State is today.”

“At Alfred State, we offer a high-quality education that is purposeful, practical, and affordable. I know how transformative earning a college degree was in my own life and can’t wait to be hands-on in my own way helping Alfred State students launch their careers. I also have an innate interest in exploring the wilderness and have studied at the National Outdoor Leadership School, so I feel right at home in beautiful Alfred.”

I am thankful for the heroes that fought for that freedom and think of those heroes that continue to protect our freedoms today. I ask that you thank those around you that protect our freedoms.
