On Monday, November 2 at 5 PM in the Hinkle Library classroom, Indigenous educator Perry Ground will share his presentation, "250 Years of Haudenosaunee History." When you think of the Haudenosaunee, you might imagine longhouses, planting the Three Sisters, or lacrosse. But what has happened to the Haudenosaunee since the United States was founded in 1776? Learn about the role the Haudenosaunee played in the history and culture of New York State and the formation of a new democracy, as well as their struggles to maintain their culture, land, language, and tradition. Refreshments will be served! This event is sponsored by the Alfred Box of Books Public Library and co-hosted by Alfred University's Herrick Library.

Did you know that your academic performance impacts your financial aid eligibility? Below is some important information for all students to keep in mind:

• Students receiving financial aid must meet Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) standards to remain eligible for financial aid.
• Alfred State is required to evaluate your academic progress every semester to determine if you are meeting these standards.
• We encourage students to maintain a minimum GPA of 2.0 and successfully complete at least 12 credit hours each semester to stay on track academically.

If you need academic assistance, please reach out to the Student Success Center now, so you don't put your financial aid at risk.

The Student Senate has created a survey to get a sense and understanding of the issues, concerns, and ideas that you have related to the school, school policies, or the campuses overall. This survey will serve as a tool for Student Senate to address any issues that are affecting the student body. Below is the link to the survey.

Pioneers,

Nothing about Halloween is scarier than a choice that hurts you or someone else.

Halloween is almost here, and there's a lot to enjoy: College-sponsored events, time with friends, a break from the routine. We want you to have fun. We also want all of us to get to Monday with our safety, reputations, and friendships intact.

Before you head out, take two minutes and run through this list.

☐ Check your costume.
Picture explaining it tomorrow to the person it's about, to your family, or to an employer who finds the photo in five years. If it turns someone's culture, identity, or pain into a punchline, swap it out. If you have to ask whether it's offensive, you already have your answer.

☐ Respect every boundary.
A costume is not consent. What someone wears never gives anyone permission to touch, grab, make sexual comments, or assume interest. Consent must be knowing, voluntary, and mutual. It can be withdrawn at any time, and someone who is incapacitated, including from alcohol or drugs, cannot give it.

☐ Make your plan.
Know who you're going with, how you're getting home, and who's checking in with whom. Charge your phone. Nobody walks home alone, and nobody drives impaired.

And remember who else is out this weekend. The village is home to families, and some of the people on those sidewalks will be kids in their first costumes, holding a parent's hand. Give them a Halloween as safe as the ones you remember.

☐ Know your first move.
Save University Police, 607-587-3999, in your contacts now. If someone is too intoxicated, being pressured, or getting hurt, call 911 or University Police before you reach for your camera. Getting help for yourself or a friend is always the right call.

☐ Pause before you post.
It's all entertainment until the video is of you or someone you care about. Before you film, share, or comment, ask what your contribution adds. Content that mocks, threatens, or glorifies violence doesn't become harmless because someone else posted it first. If you can't name the value, don't hit send. See something concerning? Report it to the College.

Being a Pioneer means the people around you can count on you, especially when it's inconvenient.

Have a great weekend, and look out for each other.
