Hillel at Alfred sponsors an erev Rosh Hashanah dinner, an erev Yom Kippur dinner and a Break Fast meal.  We will also stream services from the Central Synagogue in New York City at the Knight Club on erev Rosh Hashanah and erev Yom Kippur. All meals are kosher. Please go to AU connect  to reserve a space at the dinners.

Hillel at Alfred also holds a Kiddush every Friday evening. We plan to have Sunday Bagel brunches at least once a month and regular Shabbat dinners. We plan to hold other events throughout the year as well. If you want to be notified of Hillel events, please contact Noa Broekman at ntb3@alfred.edu

Welcome back for another great academic year! 

Here in Health and Wellness, we have already been busy seeing students. Upper respiratory viruses are the most common medical diagnosis at Health and Wellness Services, so far.  Symptoms may include a runny nose, sore throat and cough that could last for a couple of days to a couple weeks.  In addition, there have been cases of flu (Influenza A) on campus.  Flu symptoms may include feeling feverish or chills, a cough, sore throat, muscle aches, and/or fatigue.  Learn more  by visiting the NYS Health Connector - Flu Tracker Weekly - NYAPD.  Recommendations from our medical team include getting the flu shot, rest, fluids, and over-the-counter pain relievers and possibly decongestants. These infections are usually viral and typically resolve within one to two weeks on their own. If symptoms last longer than 10 days, then you should be seen by a medical provider. Overall, ways to lower your risk of infection include the following:  getting plenty of sleep, staying physically active, managing your stress, drinking plenty of fluids, and eating nutritious food.

As always, as a student, you are able to be seen by our medical staff and given over-the-counter medications and prescription medications, if needed, at no cost to you (some restrictions apply). Please, don’t hesitate to reach out if you wish to be evaluated by our team.  Alfred Campus- call us at 607-587-4200 to set up a time to visit (appointment only).  Wellsville Campus- call 607-587-3141 or visit the health center in the PSU for a walk-in appointment.

Medical excuses or "notes" excusing students from class will not be provided. However, confirmation dates and times a student received treatment can be accessed through the student health portal, to be provided to their faculty.

Good morning students,

We want to supply you some helpful information about campus parking and where you can routinely find open spaces.  In order to do this, we continued to closely audit the available parking spaces twice daily at peak times of mid-morning and mid-afternoon.  On the Alfred campus, we are consistently observing approximately 150 open spaces in the morning and about 100 open spaces mid-afternoon on the Alfred campus.  The parking lots with open student spaces are most commonly Lots 18, 19, 20, 22, and 31.  On the Wellsville campus, the supplemental parking lot next to Sustainable Advanced Manufacturing Center is widely available to accommodate 40+ vehicles.   Also, consider taking advantage of the free shuttle service to avoid needing to park and re-park your car

You can find campus parking maps here: https://www.alfredstate.edu/sites/default/files/downloads/printable-Alfred-campus-map.pdf

Remember to both display your parking permit and avoid parking in restricted areas like Faculty-Staff parking zones, Handicapped parking, or Fire Lanes.  To ensure our campus community is compliant with parking regulations, ticketing has started.   

Please let us know if you have any questions or we can assist you as you get your semester started!
