“Fore”ward Thinking
“I was an average student in high school and did not have any lofty ambitions. The idea of a two-year school appealed to me; a two-year degree seemed more doable. I applied to Cobleskill and Alfred and was accepted at both. I was not familiar with Western, NY so going to Alfred seemed like a new frontier to me.”Gregory Haeseler, '78

“I chose Alfred State based on reputation and some of my family members had attended. I wanted to leave behind the work I was doing that did not require a degree and focus on my writing.”DA Burton

“The best part of Alfred State is definitely the people. When I look back on my time in college the number one thing that I am going to remember is the friends that I made here and the experiences I shared with those friends.”Tyler Petery
Pioneer PROfiles - Spencer Caccamise
“I was not really planning on going to college but when I found out that Alfred State had motorsports and a good buddy of mine came here, I came down here for the day. I hung out at the senior shop, and I just fell in love with the place. I cannot be happier that I chose this place.”Spencer Caccamise
