Are you still packing to return for the semester? Have you realised you might own too many clothes and shoes? Well, don't forget to pack some extra high heels to donate!! Grab them from your closet, or your mom's closet (ask for permission first) and bring them back to Alfred! Pi Nu Epsilon will hold a heel drive, collecting high heels that we will use for our Domestic Violence Awareness week. After this, the shoes will be donated to ACCORD so women in need can access formal shoes for job interviews and events.

We will start collecting donations from the 26th of August in front of our Leadership Suite, located at SLC 307. If you have any questions, please contact Bee Williams at williara@alfredstate.edu.

Pi Nu Epsilon cannot wait for Week of Welcome and to see all your faces again for the Fall 2024 semester.

We have very limited positions available as we finalize our team, but if you're looking to leave an impact on our first-year students, please reach out to the Assistant Director of First-Year Engagement, Calsey Bump, at bumpce@alfredstate.edu for more details.
