Student Announce November 17, 2023

Stop by the SLC Green Space today from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. to visit the pop-up Corral of Care, meet some new barnyard friends, and de-stress!  

We care about you and hope you’ll find a few minutes to swing by to say hello to the mystery animals who want to meet you!  

The event is sponsored by your friends in the Ag and Vet Tech program, Health & Wellness Services, Dr. Carrie Cokely (Vice President for Academic Affairs), and Dr. Greg Sammons (Vice President for Student and Employee Affairs).

In partnership with UPD, Student Senate, and Civic Leadership we have created a Day of Giving program to help all our students.  If you currently have an outstanding parking ticket you can drop off a minimum donation of $10 of non-perishable, not expired, food items at the Civic Leadership Table in SLC between 12 pm and 2 PM November 13th-17th and provide the workers with your name and 800# for identification of your ticket. Donations can only be made to Civic Leadership Staff, NOT at the University Police office. You can have ONE previously issued parking ticket dismissed. This will benefit the Community Needs Hub for students. If you are unable to meet with civic leadership staff during their tabling hours in SLC this week you can email ThePlate@alfredstate.edu to coordinate a different drop-off time/location with Staff. If emailing, please make sure you reference the Food for Fine Forgiveness Program in your subject line.
