“Dr. Hunter led the college during such an important time. He started the groundwork of what we are today with the development of bachelor’s degree programs and the building of the Student Development Center, which is so appropriately named after him. I am honored and humbled to follow in the footsteps of leaders like Dr. Hunter who are cornerstones of what Alfred State is today.”
Dr. Steve Mauro
“At Alfred State, we offer a high-quality education that is purposeful, practical, and affordable. I know how transformative earning a college degree was in my own life and can’t wait to be hands-on in my own way helping Alfred State students launch their careers. I also have an innate interest in exploring the wilderness and have studied at the National Outdoor Leadership School, so I feel right at home in beautiful Alfred.”

I am thankful for the heroes that fought for that freedom and think of those heroes that continue to protect our freedoms today. I ask that you thank those around you that protect our freedoms.

“Such an experience develops a fully evolved worldview for students. This is important because they will soon be employed and interacting with a wide diversity of people and cultures. Changes half a world away also impact economies and American society at lightning speed. Providing opportunities like this as part of what they’ve learned at Alfred State positions our students to be more adaptive and prepared for great success.”

“I am excited to be joining the Alfred State College community and continuing the tradition of providing high-quality, affordable education to students from all social and economic backgrounds."
Carrie Cokley
Vice President of Academic Affairs
"I have already heard from students about the small class size and their sense of community here at Alfred. Students love the beauty of this space and have talked about the great hands-on learning experiences they get in engineering for example and in computer science."
SUNY Chancellor John B. King Jr.
“It is exciting to have Dr. King visit campus to meet with students, faculty, and staff on both our Alfred and Wellsville campuses. He has been traveling around the state visiting all the SUNY campuses. Given that there is nowhere else in the US with a higher concentration of students per resident, it is clear that SUNY’s mission to provide education across New York is especially true in Alfred. We can’t wait to show him what makes Alfred State special.”
