We are pleased to announce that Heidi Putnam has joined our team as the new Administrative Assistant in the Office of Student Engagement!

Heidi brings a strong background in office coordination, student services, administrative support, and will play a key role in helping our office run smoothly while supporting both faculty and students.

Please join us in giving Heidi a warm welcome! You can reach her at putnamhm@alfredstate.edu or stop by SLC 204 to say hello.

We’re excited to have Heidi on board and look forward to the positive impact she will make in our Pioneer community!

Parking Courtesy Request

If you don’t use your vehicle every day, we ask that you please move it to one of the upper lots such as 20, 20A, or 31. These lots are located near Pioneer Stadium and behind Peet Hall (commonly called the “Heaven Lot”).

We understand parking can be frustrating, and that’s why we’re asking everyone to help each other out. Many students need closer parking because they travel early in the morning or late at night for the Wellsville campus, farm or kennel duty, clinicals, or emergency response.

If your vehicle has been parked in the same spot for more than two days, please consider moving it to an upper lot.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping out a fellow Pioneer!
