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

To support a smooth start to the 2026-2027 academic year, Alfred State has updated its parking regulations that became effective July 1. These changes are designed to keep spaces available for those who are parked correctly, deter parking violations, and promote orderly traffic flow across campus.

What’s changing:

• One unified student parking system: Student parking is fully integrated so it’s clearer where they can park and easier to find an open space.      There are no subcategories.
• Parking fine amounts increase by $5 (for example, a standard $25 ticket becomes $30). This update, after more than fifteen years of the former rate, aims to ensure there is some deterrence to parking in restricted areas (like faculty-staff parking areas).
• Escalated fines for repeated violations in the same academic year (to address persistent non-compliance in restricted areas like faculty-staff parking):
  • More than 5 tickets in academic year: each additional ticket is $50
  • More than 10 tickets in academic year: each additional ticket is $100
  • More than 20 tickets: parking privileges may be suspended or revoked (a last resort for a vehicle operator unwilling to alter behavior).
• The goal is not to issue more tickets — it’s to reduce them through greater compliance in restricted areas like faculty-staff parking. Those cost escalations for persistent violations reset after the conclusion of the academic year.

Musical Auditions for the Drama Club production of Catch Me If You Can will be held Wednesday, September 2nd (7-9pm) and Thursday, September 3rd (6:15-8:15pm), with a required dance audition on Saturday September 5th (2-5pm), all in the Orvis Auditorium.

Please prepare 1–2 minutes of a song of your choice and a 1-minute monologue.

You only need to attend one main audition, plus the mandatory dance audition. When you arrive, we’ll also ask for your schedule to help us create the rehearsal schedule. (This includes stage crew.)

For more information or if you have anny questions, contact director Abby Hurley, at hurleyac@alfredstate.edu.

We can’t wait to see you there!
