Pioneer PROfiles - Aiden Kinney

Aiden did not have to travel far to draw the path to his future.

Aiden is a very artistic person. He enjoys that his classes allow him creative liberty and expression.

As a liberal arts & sciences: humanities major, Aiden feels his major plays to his strong suits. “The great thing about the major is that it is very customizable. Alongside your general electives you have a lot of options for what courses that you want to take that you think will better your college experience. I find that to be very appealing.”

He finds his courses understandable and enjoyable. “A lot of my courses, specifically for sociology and philosophy, I am thinking a lot more than I had previously in high school. The subject matter we tackle is thought provoking and has expanded the way I think about the world. The professors are excellent. They all seem to be understanding.”

Even though Aiden commutes to campus he spends a lot of time on campus. “The friendships I have formed through clubs and classes have encouraged me to stick around. There are a lot of great people in the area. I have met a lot of like-minded people that I have had genuine relationships with within a short period of time.”

Aiden has joined the Rainbow Union and the Paranormal Investigation Club on campus. “They both have been good communities to get involved in. I have had an excellent time and it has allowed me to adjust to college life more.”

Currently Aiden aspires to have a career in psychology and art therapy and his current path has him excited for what comes next. “Alfred State has opened a lot of opportunities for me especially to further chase my goals.”
