Have you ever thought about testing yourself in ways few people ever do? About earning real leadership experience, financial support for school, or a career path that sets you apart?

The United States Marine Corps Officer Selection Team (OST Buffalo) will be on campus at the career fair, and to host an information session for students interested in military service from Alfred University and Alfred State.

📅 Date: Wednesday, September 24, 2025
🕒 Time: 3:00–5:00 p.m.
📍 Location: EJ Brown Conference Room, 3rd floor. 

AND 

📅 Date: Thursday, September 25, 2025
🕒 Time: 3:00–5:00 p.m.
📍 Location: Alfred University Kenyon Allen, 2nd floor of the Powell Campus Center

This session will cover the officer programs available to you during college or immediately after graduation, including:

• Tuition Assistance & Financial Aid – learn how training opportunities can help offset the cost of your education.
• Income While in College – earn pay over the summer by attending Officer Candidates School (OCS).
• Career Options – explore active duty and reserve service, as well as career fields in aviation, law, and ground contracts.
• Training & Preparation – as part of OST Buffalo, you’ll train with other motivated students, developing physical fitness, basic military knowledge, and leadership skills to prepare for OCS—all while still in school.

This is not ROTC. This program gives you the flexibility to pursue your degree at Alfred while building toward a commission as a Marine Corps officer. With ROTC no longer offered locally, this is a chance to fill that gap and access one of the most respected leadership pipelines in the country.

Do YOU have questions about happenings on campus? YOUR voice can be heard! The Tor Echo is the student journalism publication. We are looking for writers!

Meetings are being held at 3:30 Wednesday 9/25 & Thursday 9/26 in the Student Development Center room 328 (3rd floor).

If you are interested or in need of our Pantry services, please note that our Food Pantry Requests can be completed at any time and is embedded under resources on the student portal home page. If submitted when you are in the Community Needs Hub, our team will fill your bag on the spot and you can walk out with your goods.  If completed outside of operational hours, our team will fill the request once received and email or call you about coordinating a pick up time. 

In addition to the above, we want to express our gratitude to all the donors!  For those interested in donating clothing, hygiene items, or non-perishable food, we can receive donations during opening hours or in our donation bin located in the SLC on the 3rd floor (near the central entrance). Our space is small, and we do not have the ability to wash any items, so please make sure any donated clothing is clean and in good condition (no undergarments please!).
