Grace Graziano, of Sodus, decided to attend Alfred State because she loved the little-town feel of Alfred, as well as the small class sizes and wide variety of two-year majors. Unsure of whether she wanted to enter the health field or become an event coordinator, Graziano decided to major in liberal arts and sciences: math and sciences.
“I was really considering going into the health field, maybe nutrition or something along those lines, but since I wasn’t sure, I thought the liberal arts program was the perfect stepping stone to that and it gave me a little time to think about it.”
A student ambassador and a member of the Alfred Programming Board and the Drama Club, Graziano said she loves how easy it is to get involved on campus. She encourages future students to step outside of their comfort zones, take risks, challenge themselves, and be open-minded.
“Those are the things that are going to help you succeed and go far.”

Orvis the Pioneer, the college’s mascot, is the biggest supporter of Alfred State. Standing at over 6’6”, Orvis is named after former college president Paul Orvis and was introduced during Homecoming 2012. Orvis’ favorite things include sitting by the campfire and eating hot dogs and s’mores. He also enjoys climbing the hills of campus to check out the amazing scenery, especially during the fall. He loves getting his picture taken and giving high fours to kids of all ages.
Meet Orvis! Jump in and be a part of things!A lot of your education happens outside the classroom.
That’s why Alfred State has about 100 clubs and
organizations to choose from. From drama to intramural
sports to equestrian, your interests can take you places
with employers, as well. They look for well-rounded
students who jump in and get involved. Explore what’s

Engaged students are
READY to take on the world.
For instance, Ashley Ebel, a Business
Administration student, was named a 2015
recipient of the Newman Civic Fellows Award
from Campus Compact. Shocked by the high
level of infant mortality in Honduras, Ashley
teamed up with nonprofit Little Angels of
Honduras to raise money, build awareness,
travel with a team to Honduras, and start a new
student organization- Hope for Honduras.
Student organizations are active in civic
engagement. Since 2011, student groups have
supported and organized a Relay for Life event
raising a record-breaking $23,000.
Also, a Special Olympics Track & Field
Spectacular is held on campus each spring
- a track and field event providing a positive
competition for middle and high school students
with intellectual disabilities. Over 75 student
volunteers helped make this day a success and
the event continues to grow each year.

Get involved.Make a difference. Civic engagement involves using your time,
skills, and abilities, to contribute to your
community. This can involve volunteering
at an after school program, advocating
for change, raising money for a charitable
cause, and voting in elections. It provides
a pathway to channel your passion into
action, bring learning to life, and build
relationships that can make a difference.
