Your time at Alfred State is part of something bigger, rooted in a tradition that began in 1908 and carried forward by generations of students before you. As you prepare to graduate, a $19.08 senior gift, honoring our founding year, is a meaningful way to continue that legacy and support those who will follow in your footsteps.

In recognition of your gift, you’ll receive a Philanthropy Pin to wear at commencement, where it will be formally recognized in the official program. More than a symbol for one day, it represents your connection to Alfred State, your impact on its future, and your place in a tradition of giving that will continue long after you leave campus.

📌 Pin it forward. Wear it loud and proud, at commencement and always!
👉 ORDER HERE!

Stay connected beyond graduation, join the Alfred State Alumni Facebook page and continue being part of the Pioneer community.

Alfred States Community Garden has partnered with The Center for Civic Leadership to continue efforts around Arbor Day celebrations!  Tree-themed Alfred State shirts are currently available for $15.00 at the Campus Store to help us fund our celebrations. Proceeds from shirt sales will support purchases of Fruit Trees for our Arbor Day events in the future. Last year we were able to plant three apple trees at Alfred States Community Garden and this Arbor Day, we will be planting two plum trees! 

Help us plant roots for the future through the purchase of these shirts and mark Arbor Day (April 24th) on your calendars so you can join us for our tree planting ceremony and garden party (more information to come). In addition, if you are looking for a way to volunteer in lead up to the event, our Community Garden Coordinator is always looking for volunteers to help spruce up the garden in time for spring plantings throughout the month of April.   

Should you have any questions or want to get involved, please reach out to Tom Kacalski (KacalsTD@alfredstate.edu) or Cyan Corwine (corwincy@alfredstate.edu)
