“Our students demonstrated extraordinary collaboration and creativity in working with the Town and Village of Cuba. We’re excited that the community is eager to build on the ideas and designs our students produced, and we extend our gratitude to everyone who contributed to this year’s project, enabling us to continue our commitment to local and regional civic engagement.”

"Our student-athletes mention this experience as being memorable and one of their favorite activities to be part of while being a Pioneer. It has truly been an amazing event to participate in and we look forward to continuing the tradition in the future."

“Our team was dedicated and excited to work before, during, and after the competition. With the teamwork and friendships that we built, I truly believe it showed in our detailed project schedule, design, estimate, and the safety package that sold the show. We are so grateful and proud of each other, and excited to see where this learning opportunity will take us from here.”

“From the road trip to the field work it was all a great experience; we were able to gain new experiences in the field from doing demo, putting up sidings, and doors. The Habitat team were great teaching us how to do specific tasks, use tools, and no matter how many times the same question was asked they always responded kindly.”
Ricardo Rivera
"This competition has to be one of the greatest experiences there is for an architecture student. Winning first place in our region was an incredible honor, providing an invaluable opportunity to work with an amazing group of students and professionals."
Katie Petix
"Projects like these are great opportunities for our students to take the knowledge learned in the classroom and apply it to real life situations. It is great to have advisory board members return to campus to learn about these projects and serve as judges. The input they give the students just adds to the experience."

“I chose Alfred State because the program is primarily focused on getting hands-on, tools-on experience. I want to be able to not only work on cars and heavy equipment outside my home but also do work on my own vehicles.”
