In partnership with UPD, Criminal Justice Club, and Civic Engagement we have created a Day of Giving program to help all our students. This program will take place from 4/14-4/30.  If you currently have an outstanding parking ticket you can drop off a minimum donation of $10 of non-perishable, not-expired food items or unopened, not expired hygiene items at the Criminal Justice Club suite 411 or Global Engagement and Civic Wellbeing suite 416 in the SLC during posted hours and provide the workers with your name and 800# for identification of your ticket. Donations can only be made to CJ Club, NOT at the University Police office. You can have ONE previously issued parking ticket dismissed. This will benefit the Community Needs Hub for students. 

Can you outrun University Police? Come find out and participate alongside University Police members on April 21st at 4:00pm at the Pioneer Stadium. Students who are able to complete the Cooper Standards at the 40% percentile will receive a “Fit For Duty” branded T-shirt along with the bragging rights to go with it. Come see if you have what it takes to pass the entry level physical fitness exam for the Alfred State Police Academy!!!!

The senior vet tech students have been hard at work researching animal diseases that don't have a treatment and theorizing a new drug for them. They will be presenting their work at a poster fair on Friday April 18 from 9:30-10:50am in the SLC Small Events Space. Visitors to the poster fair will have the opportunity to act as investors and "fund" the projects they like best. Come check out all their hard work!
