As infrastructure construction continues to progress, we are getting ready to move on to the next area for improvements. This phase will cause a closure of loop road from the access road up to the area before parking lots #18, 19 & 20 through the Facilities Building just north of West Gate Road. 

This change in road closure is currently scheduled to begin today, April 6. West Gate Road will now be open to access Loop Road from the west (Moland Hill Road). Half of parking lot #21 will not be accessible for parking to allow for a turn-around point for traffic (including large trucks and buses). The entrance to Lot #16 will be closed and the last 10 parking spots closest to loop road will be closed off, but remainder of Lot #16 will remain open through an access road. 

If there are any questions or concerns, please contact the facilities office at 4750 or Jon Nickerson at 4724. Thank you for all your cooperation as we work to improve loop road and the delivery of quality utilities to all of campus.

Our Civic Engagement Advocates (CEAs) are dynamic student leaders that play a key role in our civic leadership team! CEAs work to support a campus culture that promotes care and community involvement by initiating, enhancing, and engaging others in efforts designed to make a positive difference in our community and beyond. 

Our team works with individual students, clubs/organizations, community partners, and faculty/staff to identify and address community challenges together- here in Alfred, regionally, and beyond. Some of our areas of oversight and engagement include The PLATE (our campus food pantry), Disaster Relief, Habitat for Humanity Builds, Voter Awareness and registration, and Leadership Suite Civic Initiative Support.

If you like to help raise awareness, cultivate connection, provide support services, and engage others in community building and care, then we want to hear from you! Applications can be found in JobLink reference number 800813803

Our changing climate poses great challenges for humanity around the world: extreme weather events, sea level rise, flooding, drought, wildfires and more. How are countries in areas most affected by climate change responding to these and other challenges? In honor of Earth Day 2023, this special edition of Verdant Views will feature current Fellows in Cornell’s Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program, sharing stories of the challenges and choices they face in their home countries, and actions being taken in response to this global crisis.
