Jared Coffin (Lakewood, NY) earned a bronze medal to lead a group of six Alfred State College students that competed at the SkillsUSA National Championships in Atlanta, GA.

Alfred State’s Katie Petix (Bloomfield, NY) was recognized with the Simultaneous Award in the competition for her entry “A Place to Dwell.” Petix’s proposal, recently featured in Architype, the digital magazine of AIA Connecticut, was located on the Bay of Naples, Italy, and was comprised of “six 600 square foot homes woven into a multi-story model of elegant efficiency.”

“It is always great to celebrate the academic success of our students. Congratulations to these students and I encourage all our students to continue to work hard in our classrooms and labs.”
