Haskins has been an integral part of the Student Success team at Alfred State College for a number of years and her advocacy for the populations she serves has had a positive impact on countless students’ lives.
Coworkers know Haskins to be a staunch supporter of students, going above and beyond in her efforts daily. Her tireless advocacy has made her an educational “pillar,” as one student notes, and Alfred State is pleased to celebrate her advocacy efforts with this award conferral.
One nominating student stated, “Sarah Haskins is one of the best advocates and support system a student could ever dream of. She has made Alfred feel like home and has always looked out for me in my toughest moments. Sarah Haskins is a phenomenal woman and I call myself very blessed to have an advocate who is willing to fight for the voice and success of her students. I will never forget her kindness and how she treated us all like her own kids.”
Another student remarked, “Ms. Haskins has been a big help to me and other EOP students since day one. I feel that she should get this award because she’s always there for us and is willing to reach out and help us when we’re falling apart. Whether it be helping us when we don’t know what to do in school, or if we are just down financially and are worried about where we are going to get our next meal from, Ms. Haskins is one of the giant pillars that hold EOP together.”
A colleague of Haskins’ noted, "Sarah is a great choice for the Student Advocate Award. Students from all backgrounds connect with her immediately, and she is a fantastic problem-solver. No matter what difficulty students have found themselves in, whether it's emotional, academic, health, or family-related, Sarah has been a strong advocate to help them work through it."
