Admissions is excited to host our final spring 2023 Open House program, this Saturday, April 15. The program will start at 9:30 a.m. with presentations on both the Alfred campus and Wellsville campus. Once students have completed their academic tours on the Wellsville campus, they will be directed to the Alfred campus to go on a residence hall tour, and participate in financial aid and campus life presentations. Both campuses will be offering academic tours at 10 am, 11 am, 12 pm, 1 pm, and 2 pm. Open House is a great opportunity to show potential students and their families all that Alfred State has to offer.

If you have any questions, please contact Calsey Bump, Admissions Counselor, at bumpce@alfredstate.edu or ext. 4058.

The Academic Advising center will be hosting drop-in hours for students to meet about Fall registration this week.

The How to Overcome a Bad Day Workshop will be hosted by the Student Success Center on Wednesday, April 12th at 5pm in the Student Development Center, Room 109. Everyone has had one - a day that just does not go as planned. Sometimes we wake up and just feel off, or sometimes it feels everything we try to do goes wrong. This workshop will discuss options on how to overcome these days. Learn how to control your day, rather than be a victim of a bad day. 

Find this workshop and future events on Pioneer Link.
