The WOW for Week of Welcome is living up to its name! I’m taking this opportunity to start a new way for me to highlight some of the awesome Pioneers on campus who I catch doing great things each week. Steve’s Friday Feature provides me an opportunity to brag about some of what’s great on campus and to cheer you on. This week recognizes the commitment of Bruce Riley, Cyan Corwine, and Peter McClain.

Students in the agricultural programs here at Alfred State collect kitchen prep wastes with the help of ACES staff at the Central Dining Hall. These wastes are taken to the College Farm where they are composted using leaves. If you would be interested in helping with the collection and transportation of compost, please reach out to Jessica Hutchison (HutchiJM@alfredstate.edu). We could use the assistance!

PLEASE COME JOIN ERGO (ASC’S LITERARY & ARTISTIC PUBLICATION)!

ERGO is funded by the Student Senate and is freely distributed each semester.  Students, faculty, and staff are invited to submit their original works of art, poetry, and prose by sending them to ERGO@alfredstate.edu.  Dr. Aniko Constantine (SDC Bldg., Rm. 309), is the Faculty Advisor for ERGO.  If you wish, your submission could be published anonymously or under a pseudonym.

The first meeting is scheduled for Monday, September 11, 2023, at 4:00 p.m. in the Student Development Center faculty lounge located on the 2nd floor, Rm. 242.  This meeting is open to any students interested in possibly joining ERGO.  This committee will meet 5 or 6 times during the semester.

Take a moment and review one of our previous publications located in several of the buildings around campus.  

POETRY READING:  MONDAY, NOV. 6, 2023, AT 6:00 P.M. IN THE ALLEGANY ROOM LOCATED WITHIN CENTRAL DINING HALL.

As the fall semester commences, University Police are reminding all students not to enter or walk within any campus areas that are currently under construction. This also includes all areas that are blocked off to vehicle traffic or fenced off in any way. Many unseen hazards exist within these areas and emergency personnel are unable to gain access or assist in the event of an accident or emergency. 

In addition, students are also unauthorized from tampering with any of the construction vehicles or property at any time. This includes moving or interfering with any cones or barriers observed on campus.

The individual room selection process has ended. Students without a housing assignment for the 2023 – 2024 academic year must complete the housing application in eRezLife. Once completed our office will work on providing you with a housing assignment for the 2023 – 2024 academic year based on your building preferences.

If you have someone you wish to room with, please create a roommate group after each person has completed their housing application. Residential Services will try to place you with your roommate group if the space allows for it.

Please contact Residential Services at reslife@alfredstate.edu or 607-587-4371 with any questions.
