Happy Holidays,

At the end of 2024, we reflect on the power of community here at Alfred State College. We are more than just courses and degrees – we build relationships, connections, and provide support.

We have had an amazing year, and we have so much to celebrate! Alfred State is a special place, and I am thankful for every person who makes Alfred State so great!

From my family to all of you, I wish you a joyful and peaceful holiday season.

Dear Alfred State Community,  

Today and every day we thank those who have served or are serving to protect the freedoms we enjoy. At Alfred State, we have veterans that teach, work, and learn.  

We have several opportunities throughout the day to participate in our acknowledgement and celebration of those that have served on our behalf:  

• At 11:50 a.m., the Hinkle Bell Tower will play the Armed Forces Medley in honor of all Veterans.
• There will be snacks and refreshments in new Veteran Lounge (located in the H Building) on the Wellsville campus.
• A Veterans Day Celebration will be held in conjunction with the Village of Alfred and Alfred University from 12:15 – 1:10 p.m. at Nevins Theater (on the AU campus).  
• Alfred State Military Affairs and Alfred University Military Affairs will co-host a dinner at the Knight Club Theater (on the AU campus) from 5:30 – 7 p.m. 
• Three Alfred State VA work study students are starting a student group, ASC Veterans United. An interest meeting is scheduled for Nov. 15 at 4:30 p.m. in the Veterans Lounge in EJ Brown Hall. 

I ask that you take time to reflect on all the great men and women that have and continue to serve and remember to thank them for their service not just today but every opportunity that you get.  

Respectfully,  
Dr. Steven Mauro, Ph.D.  
President

Did you know that Licensed Veterinary Technicians are a key part of the health and well being of your pets when they are in a Veterinary Hospital, and even when your pet is home with you, but you have questions about their care?  They do everything from blood draws to lab work, monitoring anesthesia to assisting in surgical procedures, dispensing medications and ensuring you understand why that medication was prescribed and how to properly administer it when you take your pet home.  They are counselors, educators, scrub nurses, physical rehabilitation specialists, surgical assistants, radiologists, ultrasound technicians, post op recovery nurses, nurse anesthetists, pharmacy techs, behavior specialists, schedulers, and so much more.  They are highly trained, and can do the job of 20 different people on the human side in one day.  

This week is National Veterinary Technician Week!  Let's celebrate these amazing individuals by being a little kinder to people, and thanking that special LVT in your animal's life.  

Homecoming Family Weekend is fast approaching and it is time to start thinking  about our Annual Basket Raffle! Is your department or organization interested in donating a basket for the raffle? We encourage you to come up with a unique and fun theme for your basket! 

Please reach out to Katelyn James at jameskm1@alfredstate.edu to let us know if you are planning on donating a basket. 

Baskets will need to be wrapped in cellophane and delivered to the Office of Student Engagement in the Student Leadership Center no later than Wednesday, October 16th. Baskets will be displayed and tickets can be purchased in the Student Leadership Center in Room 204 on Friday, October 18th from 10am until 4pm and  at the Pep Rally Friday night near the Pioneer Stadium from 6:30PM - 10PM. They will also be displayed at Homecoming on Saturday, October 19th during the tailgate festivities with tickets being drawn at halftime. Tickets will be sold as a sheet of 25 tickets for $10. You may purchase multiple sheets if desired.

Labor Day

The backbone of any organization is its team—and the backbone of every team is its individuals. The unique set of qualities, skills, and perspectives you bring to the table makes Alfred State such a great place to work.   

In honor of Labor Day, I want to say thank you for the energy you bring and your commitment to our mission and values. I also want to thank you for the education and experiences you are giving to our students both inside and outside the classroom to prepare them to join the workforce.  

With the dedication of time, you give to so many others, let’s not forget to find some time for ourselves to get some rest and do something fun this weekend—you deserve it!

Due to structural concerns, Alfred State will permanently close its current swimming pool after the conclusion of the current swimming and diving season. A professional engineering study has indicated that continuing to operate the pool within Orvis now and in the future, even after a years-long rebuild, could damage the building.

Aligned with our master planning efforts for a new field house, plans are actively underway to request integration of a new pool in the funding request.  We will explore the best alternative use of the current space for athletics and recreation by creating a task force to make recommendations.

We will facilitate supporting the Men’s and Women’s Swimming and Diving Program’s and Alfred State will actively work to minimize the impact on current student athletes and other pool users.

Join the Athletic Department in congratulating the Alfred State Football in earning an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in program history.
