This award is presented annually to a HBI graduate who has overcome challenge, become an inspiration to other young women, and holds exceptional promise for the nation’s building industry.
“The professors are fun. They really try to make it the best experience for us and make sure that they get the knowledge to us. They make sure we understand and are super willing to help whenever we need extra help with anything.”
Conor Compton
Conor Compton wanted to study heavy equipment operations and continue to dive when he went to college. He was able to find both at Alfred State.
“I chose Alfred State because of the great opportunities we have here to operate all this equipment. The coolest part is I get to participate in the diving team which is something not a lot of programs will allow you to do. This was a unique program because I get the college experience, the college degree, and I also get to dive on the team.”
“In our world the most dangerous accidents always seem to be a trench collapse. We have thirty-five seniors taking part in this simulation experience and someday, somewhere one of them is going to have to assist in a rescue attempt."
Brian Adams
Alfred State senior Heavy Equipment Operations students took part in a hands-on, real-world simulation of a trench collapse in partnership with the Wellsville Volunteer Ambulance Corp (WVAC).
“The best part of the program is that you get so much experience. They try to simulate real world situations. The instructors have so much experience. They have answers for pretty much every scenario that me and my classmates have. We are always learning something new.”
Farhad Begaliev
Farhad Begaliev (Manchester, NY) wanted to learn skills that would lead him to a rewarding hands-on career. His path led him to Alfred State and the Automotive Service Technician program where he is excited for what the future holds.
“I chose Alfred State because they have one of the greatest hands-on programs. I am not the type of person that would sit down at a desk for multiple hours. I would rather be in the shop with all this equipment and work with cars.”

The $25 per person buffet dinner includes:
“I felt fortunate to be able to take a fantastic group of students and be part of something much bigger than ourselves. It was an eye-opening experience for everyone when you see how much still needs to be done in the area. I could not be prouder of the students that went and how they represented themselves and the college.”
Justin Dix
A group of four students and one faculty member from Alfred State’s Northland campus traveled to Fort Myers, FL to participate in a relief trip in conjunction with the All Hands & Hearts organization. This was the 25th trip Alfred State has participated in with the organization.
“These cars are great learning tools for our students. The repairs that the students perform are like what they will see when they get into the workplace. Challenges like this force our students to step up their skills and reinforces what they have learned during their time in this program.”
CJ Tremper
Alfred State autobody students continued to gain hands-on, real-world experience through the wreck/rebuild program funded by the Education Foundation of Alfred, Inc.
Students in the autobody repair major, led by CJ Tremper and Brad Smith, enhance their skills sets by fixing wrecking vehicles and gain insight into what it is like to work inside a collision shop. Tremper and Smith teach and work alongside students throughout their time in the program.
