Student Announce March 29, 2024

The Alfred State Information Security Team sponsored by the Computer Information Technology department is hosting a 3-hour workshop on Friday, March 29th from 3:00 pm – 6:00 pm.  The topics highlighted are physical Information security, cryptography, password cracking, log analysis, enumeration\exploitation, scanning, Network Traffic, Web Application, Open-Source Intelligence, and Computer Forensic. 

 Topics are the highlights of the National Cyber League Competition in which 15 of the Alfred State Information Security Team will be participating this semester.  It starts with the practice session in which you can watch and ask questions during the workshop.  There will be hands on activities through the NICE Challenge sponsored by California State University SAN Bernadino, and our own virtual Netlab for everyone to participate in. Please note if you want to be part of the NICE challenge you must register ahead of time.

There is something for all skill levels. Walk away with information on cyber security and make new friends. The event will be streamed on Teams if you can’t make it in person.   The event will be in the Engineering building, room 440 and 446.

The end goal of this event is to talk about our discipline, make new friends and have a good time. 

Alfred State College is excited to announce our partnership with CampusESP to design a new web tool that allows parents and family to stay connected to their student. The ASC Parent and Family Experience portal was launched last week. Check out more information here, https://www.alfredstate.edu/news/2024-03-27/alfred-state-launches-new-parent-family-connections-portal

Alfred State College is proud to announce a Veteran Enrollment and Support Internship program through SUNY.   This is a paid internship for student veterans to assist in the enrollment and engagement of veteran and military connected students.  

To be considered, students must: 

*served in the United States military, to include members of the Guard and Reserve

*Have at least 30 credit hours, been at the campus for two semesters, and be in good academic standing.

For more details, or to apply, contact Joann Bloxsom at bloxsojf@alfredstate.edu by April 5. 

Congratulations to the entire campus as we set a new school record this week!

Interest among prospective students for the 2024 fall cohort at Alfred State surpassed 10,000 applications. Out of all of SUNY’s Colleges of Technology, only Farmingdale in densely populated Long Island has ever crossed the 10,000 milestone. Last year, the total number received was 9,349 applications, and in 2018 we had 9,171 overall (see historic chart).

Academics, enrollment, student engagement, and everyone on campus work together to build our school’s stellar reputation. It is so very gratifying to see another measure of how our efforts resonate with prospective students and parents who are comparing colleges and universities. Truly more and more people want to be a Pioneer!
