Student Announce May 6, 2025

As you are packing up for the end of this academic year, the annual Mega Drive collection of clothing, electronics, furniture, rugs, school supplies, and anything else in usable condition is occurring in boxes located outside of the Resident Hall administration offices.  Would you please consider donating quality items toward this initiative rather than placing them in a dumpster?

All items will be sorted and then offered for sale during Welcome Week on Wednesday, August 20th with proceeds funding the ReClaim Mega Sale Endowment Scholarship.  

Calling all clubs & organizations! Before you leave for your well deserved summer break, please ensure that you fill out the Week of Welcome programming application by Friday, May 9 at 4PM. If we do not receive this form or communication, you will not be permitted to program during these events. In addition, this application does not guarantee you a spot, or guarantee the time you requested due to mandatory events during these large-scale programs. Please ensure you read the instructions carefully included in the form. You will receive your decision by June 27, 2025. 

If you have any questions please email Calsey Bump at bumpce@alfredstate.edu or Steven Edwards at edwards@alfredstate.edu - enjoy your summer!

Hey Pioneers!

As the end of the school year approaches, please remember to pick up all mail and packages from the mailroom before you leave campus for the summer

Any unclaimed items will be returned to the sender after the semester ends — so don’t miss out on anything important!

Stop by the mailroom during regular hours (Monday-Friday from 8 a.m.- 4:30 p.m.) and make sure you’re all set before heading out for the summer.

If you can’t make it, reply to the email from mailroom@alfredstate.edu with the name of the trusted person you’re asking to retrieve that mail on your behalf. 

Thanks, and have a great break! 💙💛

The Center for Civic Leadership offers big congratulations to our soon to be graduates and wants to remind any who are concluding their journey with Alfred State to double check your voter registration status and make sure you update it to properly reflect where you wish to be registered to vote. As a reminder, we have  Voter Registration  resources available to all students in your portal. If you are not sure if you are registered to vote, you can also use our online resources to Check your Registration Status, Research your Ballot, or Find your Polling Place.  People tend to pay attention to national elections and forget about what is happening on a local level. We encourage all you eligible voters, to get registered and stay engaged in your local communities.  

To all students, we wish you a safe, enjoyable, and fulfilling summer!
