Each year the Board of Trustees seeks to recognize a student, or group of students, who recognize a need and go about creating a lasting solution. It could be an improvement or program on-campus or off-campus. To nominate a student, just send Dan Napolitano (napolitano@alfred.edu) a short paragraph about the student and their innovative contribution.

Please take a minute to fill out the Career Development Center's graduate survey. Whether you have your plans settled or not (e.g., employment or graduate school), we'd like to hear about it.

The CDC uses this information to understand the job and grad school market for AU students. The information is confidential and is not reported in a personally identifiable way.

If you have questions about the survey or need career assistance of any kind, please contact us at 871.2164 or cdc@alfred.edu
