We encourage our campus community to support the many initiatives our incredible students are spearheading throughout April as part of our Civic Leadership Spring into Action Campaign.  Initiatives are already underway and you can find a list of some of the offerings linked here. 

In addition to the linked list we are aware of other potential volunteer needs in the community that are not yet filled, so if you are a club, organization or department interested in providing service this month please reach out to Cyan Corwine in the Center for Civic Leadership so we can help connect you with community partners in need.  Also, if you have a service project or fundraiser that you are leading that is not on the press release, please send Cyan the details (Name/date/purpose of event, club/org sponsoring it, primary contact details) and we can add it to the online link!

In addition to the publicized event, Criminal Justice Club (SLC 411) are partnering once again with UP and Civic Leadership to bring back the Food-for-Fine-Forgiveness program throughout the month of April. Students can drop off $10 of non-perishable food in exchange for one parking fine reduction to either of these leadership suites during the month of April. Only one fine reduction per person. Food benefits wider campus community.

These are just some of the amazing ways our students are leading the way with service this Global Volunteer Month. Please get out and support them in their efforts as we Spring into Action and nurture our caring community! Again, if you have another event that you would like to lead during the month or if you want help partnering with someone in wider community to fulfill service, please do not hesitate to reach out to Cyan Corwine (corwincy@alfredstate.edu)

Your time at Alfred State is part of something bigger, rooted in a tradition that began in 1908 and carried forward by generations of students before you. As you prepare to graduate, a $19.08 senior gift, honoring our founding year, is a meaningful way to continue that legacy and support those who will follow in your footsteps.

In recognition of your gift, you’ll receive a Philanthropy Pin to wear at commencement, where it will be formally recognized in the official program. More than a symbol for one day, it represents your connection to Alfred State, your impact on its future, and your place in a tradition of giving that will continue long after you leave campus.

📌 Pin it forward. Wear it loud and proud, at commencement and always!
👉 ORDER HERE!

Stay connected beyond graduation, join the Alfred State Alumni Facebook page and continue being part of the Pioneer community.
