Pioneer PROfiles - Sofia Baldwin

“Four years ago, I was too scared to talk to anyone, so I started dipping my toes in things on campus and it helped me come out of my shell a lot. It has helped me with my leadership and social abilities as well.”

Sofia Baldwin

Sofia Baldwin (Troy, NY) broke out of her shell at Alfred State. She entered college as a shy digital media and animation major and through her experiences in and out of the classroom she is ready to take center stage.

“I chose Alfred State because it was affordable, relatively close to home, and it had the major I was looking for. I received a scholarship as well.”

Pioneer PROfiles - Soumya Konar

“I really like the environment Alfred State provided. Every interaction I had with staff, students, and faculty on campus was positive. Coming from a populated city, I always wanted lesser people in class so I could interact with the teacher more. I can always go into their office hours and talk about any future goals or certifications that I wanted to do.”

Soumya Konar

A search for top Application Software Development programs introduced Soumya Konar to Alfred State from her home in Mumbai, India. Her experiences in and out of the classroom have made her a Pioneer for life.

“I searched a lot of colleges and was looking for all the good colleges for computer sciences in California and New York and this was one of the best colleges for software development. I like coding, problem solving, and I like integrating math into it.”
