At dusk on various evenings, UPD will be using handheld launchers to discharge bird whistlers in an effort to manage the large number of crows on campus.  The whistlers are non-harmful devices designed to create sounds that encourage the crows to relocate without causing them harm. This is part of our ongoing efforts to address the situation in a safe and effective manner. We ask for your understanding as we work to maintain a safe and clean environment for all. Should you have any concerns, please feel free to reach out to University Police.

All students are encouraged to review and update their personal information on a regular basis. You can update items such as your address, phone number, preferred first name, and personal pronouns.  These updates can be made at my.AlfredState.edu/registration by selecting the “Update Personal Information” icon.
