Kick off your shoes, relax your feet, and step into culture, community, and connection during Week of Welcome at the “Cultural Kickback"  on August 27th at 7 pm in the Small Events Space (SLC 310). Part interest meeting, part pitch competition this is your chance to learn about student-led cultural groups, meet club leaders, ask questions, and discover how the Cultural Life Center (CLC) supports identity, expression, and belonging on campus.

On Sept. 2nd at 10:10 a.m., Alfred State will be conducting a drill to test its emergency procedures & systems on the Alfred and Wellsville campuses

During the drill – actively shelter in place at a location where you can:

1. Lock or block the door
2. Darken the room
3. Silence cell phones
4. Move to the safest wall (where you are out of sight)
5. Strategize and coordinate with persons with you about what to do if your door is entered by a threat. Identify 2-4 “contact” persons who will volunteer to actively assist in getting the threat to the floor where they are unable to continue their actions.

The sirens will be going off on both the Alfred and Wellsville campuses. Hear an audio sample and learn about them at: http://www.alfredstate.edu/university-police/emergency-preparedness-emergency-procedures/outdoor-warning-siren
