Blue & Gold Today

Dear Faculty and Staff,

Professional Development Week (PDW) returns August 20–28, 2026, with this year’s theme: Collaborate. Create. Carry Forward.

This year’s PDW brings together required and optional sessions designed to create opportunities for learning, conversation, collaboration, and practical application. The program includes panels, roundtables, open forums, and interactive sessions across the week.

New this year: Faculty Action Institutes
These extended, hands-on working sessions are designed around action and application. The goal is simple: come with an idea or a need and leave with a concrete deliverable you can use this semester—not just a page of notes.

Earn a CITE Professional Development Certificate
Faculty who completes the required sessions plus 12 hours of optional sessions will receive a CITE Professional Development Certificate.

Explore the PDW Schedule
The full schedule is available here: https://bit.ly/pdw_august2026 

The schedule will also be shared shortly through the CITE SharePoint and Teams. Additional session information and reminders will be shared throughout PDW, so please watch for updates.

Questions? Contact cite@alfredstate.edu or Deepa Deshpande in the Center for Innovation and Teaching Excellence.

We look forward to learning, creating, and collaborating with you—and to a great start to the academic year!

Go Pioneers! 

We know our robotic mowers can be a little fascinating to watch and when one appears to be stuck, it can be tempting to jump in and lend a helping hand. But please resist the urge to rescue the robot. 

Our robotic mowers are monitored through an app in Facilities Services that alerts us immediately if a mower encounters an issue or becomes stuck. Our team also checks on them regularly throughout the day.

When a mower is manually moved, it can interfere with its programmed location and create issues with the system, which may prevent it from operating properly.

So, if you see a robotic mower that looks like it needs help, please leave it right where it is and contact Facilities Services. We promise, we've got the robots covered.

Thank you for helping us keep our robotic mowing program running smoothly and for allowing our Facilities team (and our little fleet of robots) to do their jobs.

Join us on Friday, September 11th at 7:30pm for an evening of fun at our Employee Movie Night on the Football Field! 

Bring your family, grab a blanket or lawn chair, your favorite snacks and enjoy a movie under the stars with your fellow Alfred State colleagues. Best of all, we'll provide the popcorn! 

But first—we need your help deciding what we'll watch!

Cast your vote by following the link below. The movie with the most votes will be featured on the big screen during our outdoor movie night.

Voting closes on August 28th.

We can't wait to spend a fun-filled evening with you. Happy voting!

Dear Faculty & Staff,

Institutional Advancement and Alumni Relations is excited to once again coordinate the Homecoming Basket Raffle, a favorite Homecoming tradition that helps make Homecoming/Family Weekend even more special for our campus community.

We're inviting departments across campus to join in the fun by donating a themed basket for this year's raffle! Whether it's filled with local favorites, movie night essentials, coffee treats, tailgating gear, self-care items, or something uniquely representative of your department, your creativity and generosity help make this event a highlight of the weekend.

How to Participate

• Sign Up: Please contact Evelyn Piatt in Institutional Advancement at x3930 or by emailing PiattEL@alfredstate.edu to let us know if your department plans to donate a basket.
• Basket Deadline: All baskets must be delivered by 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, September 22.
• Drop-Off Location: Please bring baskets to the Alumni House, located on the Lower Campus Loop.
• Presentation: To help keep everything secure and looking its best, please wrap baskets in clear cellophane.

A Little Friendly Competition!

To make this year's basket raffle even more fun, we're adding a little Homecoming competition! The department whose basket sells the most raffle tickets will win a special treat for their department. So get creative, have fun with your theme, and encourage your colleagues to help your basket take the top spot!

Why It Matters

🎉 Every Dollar Stays with Homecoming!

Every dollar raised through the Homecoming Basket Raffle is reinvested directly into the Homecoming/Family Weekend budget. That means your department's participation directly supports enhanced programming, traditions, and experiences for our students, alumni, families, and guests. By donating a basket, you're helping create an unforgettable Homecoming while supporting one of Alfred State's favorite annual celebrations.

Thank you for helping make Homecoming/Family Weekend a success. We can't wait to see the amazing baskets our Alfred State community creates!

While many campus spaces are quieter during the summer months, Technology Services has been hard at work preparing classrooms, labs, and instructional technology spaces for the start of the semester. While we've worked hard to ensure everything is ready for day one, we encourage faculty to visit the classrooms and labs they'll be using well before classes begin.

During your visit, please take a few moments to: 

• Test classroom presentation equipment and instructional technology.
• Familiarize yourself with projectors, displays, microphones, document cameras, and other room-specific features.
• Confirm any specialized software, equipment, or resources needed for your courses are available and functioning as expected.
• Verify that your presentation materials and applications open correctly on classroom computers.

We've checked a lot of things over the summer, but with the multitude of classrooms and labs, an increasingly wide variety of technology, and countless unique course requirements, an extra set of eyes never hurts. Every course has its own needs, and a quick walkthrough before classes begin can help identify anything that may need attention. After all, technology has an uncanny ability to behave perfectly until five minutes before the start of class.

If you encounter any concerns, please contact the Help Desk so we can address them before the semester gets underway.

Welcome back and thank you for helping us ensure a successful start to the semester!

UUP Members: Without even a full month having passed after the expiration of our previous contract, our new contract with New York State has been ratified!  It covers the period of July 2, 2026 to July 1, 2031, and legislative action needed to implement certain terms of the contract has already taken place.  With solid gains in compensation, due process, and job protections, it should be noted that the negotiations team fought for the fewest possible concessions.  From statewide UUP president Fred Kowal:

• "I am pleased to report that the results of the ratification vote on the tentative agreement between UUP and the State of New York are now in. The result is truly historic, with nearly 98% of members voting YES. This overwhelming vote in favor of our new contract is testimony to the engagement of members in the entire process, and especially to the tireless efforts and commitment of our Chief Negotiator, Bret Benjamin, Director of NYSUT Staff, Jeremy Ginsburg, and the entire negotiations team."

UUP Members brought you this contract, with its myriad benefits. Thank you to all who voted!  A higher proportion of membership adds to our negotiating leverage for improving our work lives and benefitting SUNY as a whole. Membership is NOT automatic; check your pay stub and if you’re not already a member, you can sign up at http://uupinfo.org/join

Please note that the video wall located in the Student Leadership Center (SLC) Park Space is currently out of service.

We are actively evaluating the issue and investigating potential solutions; however, due to the nature of the failure and age of the system, restoration may take a while. Given this, at this time, we do not have an estimated timeline for restoration. If your planned event in the Park Space requires use of the video wall, please contact Instructional Technologies to discuss a potential alternative prior to scheduling your event, or refrain from scheduling the space. Events that do not depend on the video wall can continue as planned. 

Updates will be shared as more information becomes available. 

We appreciate your patience while we work toward a resolution.

UUP Alfred would like to remind all members to vote on the tentative agreement (contract) reached with New York State. Just like with membership in our union, a higher proportion of members voting on the ratification shows that we care about the terms and conditions of our employment, and the health of the SUNY system! The tentative agreement can be viewed at uupinfo.org in the Members Only portal.

• Voting closes at 5:00 PM on Monday, July 27, 2026. Active members of UUP, who were members in good standing as of June 4, 2026 (the date the State/UUP tentative agreement was reached), are eligible to vote.
• Emails went out on Friday, July 10 with the subject line "Vote now: UUP - UUP 2026-2031 Contract."  That email includes a link to an online elections system and an individualized access code that will allow you to vote.  Postcards were also sent to member addresses.
• If you believe you are eligible to vote and have not received either an e-mail or a post card with voting instructions and your access code, please call MK Election Services at 203-403-8401 or email uupcontract@mkelections.com. 

This is the first time in UUP history that negotiations were completed before the previous contract expired! UUP Members brought you this tentative agreement.  Only UUP MEMBERS may take part in the contract negotiation and ratification.  A higher proportion of membership adds to our negotiating leverage for improving our work lives and benefitting SUNY as a whole.
