The Allegany County Fair is quickly approaching, and we are looking for volunteers to help represent Alfred State throughout the week of July 20-25. 

This year, instead of hosting a traditional Alfred State booth, we are transitioning to our Mobile Learning Lab, which will serve as our primary outreach and engagement space at the fair. The Mobile Learning Lab provides an exciting opportunity to showcase Alfred State's innovative programs, connect with prospective students and families, and engage with community members in a dynamic and interactive environment.

We are seeking faculty and staff volunteers who are interested in spending time in the Mobile Learning Lab, greeting visitors, sharing information about Alfred State, and helping create a welcoming experience for fair attendees.

if interested in volunteering this year please fill out this Form which will show days and times available.  

Thank you for helping Alfred State make a strong impact at the Allegany County Fair. We appreciate your support and look forward to showcasing the college through our new Mobile Learning Lab experience.

For any questions, please reach out donovatl@alfredstate.edu or Ext 4010.

We have been advised by New York State Teachers' Retirement System (NYSTRS) that there is a delegate vacancy for the 2025-2027 term. A delegate has two main functions; 

1. Attend the two-day Annual Delegates Meeting held in the fall at which they elect a teacher member to NYSTRS’ Board.
2. Serve as a liaison between NYSTRS and the members in their district. In this role, delegates often answer retirement-related and general System questions for their colleagues. Topics include where to get NYSTRS information, differences between tiers of membership and how to plan for retirement.

If you are interested in serving and currently a NYSTRS member, please notify Marci Johnson by September 1, 2026.  If multiple nominations are received, an election will be conducted among eligible NYSTRS members.

Additional information regarding delegate responsibilities may be found at NYSTRS Delegate Information.
