Alfred State welding major Delaney Nichols (North Tonawanda, NY - Starpoint) has won the 2023 Vanguard award. The NET (Nontraditional Employment & Training) program presents the award annually. Nichols, who studies at Alfred State’s Northland campus is the first student at that campus to ever receive this award.

The Vanguard Award acknowledges and commends outstanding students enrolled in Tech Prep and other Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs that are not traditional for their gender.

Three State University of New York (SUNY) colleges have joined forces to help employers eager to hire along with workers ready to learn the needed skills for advanced manufacturing careers.

Matt DiRado, Jeff Hellwig, and Andrea Williamson were named the recipients of the Advising Excellence award at Alfred State’s annual Recognition Celebration.

Given annually, the Advising Excellence award recognizes Alfred State college faculty advisors who have gone above and beyond to positively impact a student’s college experience. Students nominated the honorees and a professor from each of the college’s three schools were honored.

The 2021 SkillsUSA New York State Leadership and Skills Conference Postsecondary Championship was held on Alfred State’s Wellsville campus on Saturday, April 2. 32 students from two schools, Alfred State and the Culinary Institute of America, competed against each other in one of the nation’s most prestigious showcases of career and technical aptitude.

New York State Lt. Gov. Brian Benjamin announced a project that will bring hundreds of jobs to Wellsville with a reportedly $200 million investment.

Alfred State College is proud to announce that two of its students, Emily Clough and Errol Mars, have been named recipients of the Vanguard Award for the 2020-2021 academic year.

This honor recognizes outstanding post-secondary-level students enrolled in career and technical education (CTE) programs that prepare them for careers that are not traditional for their gender. A nontraditional career is an occupation where one sex comprises fewer than 25 percent of the total employed.

With an emphasis on hands-on, real-world learning, Alfred State College students in the School of Applied Technology are well prepared for the jobs they want after only two years of study. In fact, 99 percent either have a job immediately after graduation or continue studies for another degree.

As a further testament to the quality of education students receive at the Wellsville campus, US News & World Report and Niche.com have listed Alfred State among the top five colleges in the country for schools offering several majors.
