Greetings Alumni and Friends

I am honored to serve the alumni of Alfred State College as your new Associate Director of Alumni Relations & Annual Giving. I am not a new face to the campus, having graduated from the college with a Bachelor's in Business Administration in 2020 and worked here as a student. I will be forever proud of graduating from Alfred State, which is why I’m still here! Although I am familiar with the college, I am new to the division and especially looking forward to years to come of making meaningful connections and opportunities to hear memories of your time here.

Throughout our search for a new director of Alumni Relations, we have continued planning exciting and engaging events for 2022. Keep an eye on our events page and social media accounts to stay up to date on what is to come. I am very eager for what the future has in store!

With that being said, it’s important to us that you stay connected and involved with your alma mater. We currently have 14 alumni chapters and are always looking to expand into new cities across the country. If you are interested in joining a chapter or serving as a chair, please visit our website or contact us directly. We are engaging in a myriad of ways, from our traditional venues to virtual webinars and community service projects.

Please continue to keep Alfred State in the forefront of your lives. Our virtual events in these unprecedented times provide great opportunities to reconnect with those with whom you have lost contact – your former roommate, classmate, or even your favorite professor. Continue to or begin to engage with the college and encourage others to do so as well; there are numerous fun opportunities!

As always - we want to hear from you! Let us know what types of events and opportunities you would like to see in the future. The opportunities are endless – from sporting events, community service, or even speaker series – we would love to do it all! In addition, be sure to visit our alumni page to update your information, get the most recent updates, and take advantage of the benefits provided to you, our alumni.

I look forward to meeting more of you, making new friends, and discovering new interests in the years to come. Thank you again for allowing me the privilege to serve you.

Alfred State Open Deemed a Success

The Alfred State Open organized by the Class of 1978 was deemed a success as seven teams took the course at Springville Country Club (Springville, NY) to participate in the inaugural event. The team captained by Barrett Price ’78 took home the title.

Alums traveled from California, Colorado, Nevada, and Ohio to participate in the event organized by fellow 1978 classmate Greg Haeseler. The event featured a buffet lunch, the round of golf, and a happy hour.

Alfred State Director of Development Jason Sciotti was very pleased with the event, “This event showed a wonderful commitment to Alfred State from the Class of 1978. They are the first class to come together to establish an endowed scholarship for our students. I can’t say enough about the originator, Mr. Greg Haeseler ’78 from Long Beach, CA. He has rounded the troops from 1978 and truly showed what Pioneer Pride is all about”.

One of the many highlights of the event was the honoring of former first lady Ms. Mary Huntington. Her husband, David, was the president of Alfred State in 1978. She is still very active on campus and is a huge Pioneer football fan. A plaque to honor the Huntington family was established and a spot on the plaque was raffled off. Jack Wolfe ’19 is the first to have his name on the plaque.

Price and his teammates on Team Bear Metal Works (Buffalo, NY) will have their names carved into “the jug”. Price teamed with Bryan Price, Charlie Bird, and Casey Kacz shot a 66.
