Friday, April 5, 2024

The Curriculum Development Committee within Faculty Senate at Alfred State works diligently to ensure high academic standards for courses and programs, which contributes to strong student interest and high-quality education.

I am continually impressed by the dedication and collaborative spirit of the Alfred State community. While there are numerous individuals worthy of recognition, today I would like to commend the exemplary work of the Curriculum Development Committee within Faculty Senate.

This committee holds the critical responsibility of reviewing existing curricula, amendments, and new program proposals to uphold the rigorous standards of higher education. Tasked with maintaining the highest academic caliber across all courses and programs at Alfred State College, the committee undertakes this time-intensive endeavor with unwavering commitment, thoroughness, and a spirit of service.

It is through the diligent efforts of this esteemed group, in conjunction with the innovative faculty proposing updates and novel offerings, that our students benefit from robust, high-quality academic programs that garner widespread interest and acclaim. Their contributions are invaluable to the continued success of our institution.

The current committee members - Reza Yadollahi, Tim Cochran, Laura Kernan, Rebecca Milliner, Angela Allen, Matthew Hollis, Kimberly Howard, Alexandra Hoffman, Michael Colomaio, and Mark Whitman - deserve our sincere gratitude for their outstanding work this year.

Additionally, I extend my appreciation to Faculty Senate for fostering an environment of productive collaboration that yields such positive outcomes for our students.
