Alumnus, Congressman Tom Reed ’93 to hold virtual ‘town hall’ Thursday

ALFRED, NY – Alfred University alumnus Tom Reed ’93, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, will participate in a virtual town hall discussion on Thursday, Feb. 4.

The online discussion, which will be held via Zoom, will begin at 5:15 p.m. and is expected to last approximately one hour. Depending on the size of the audience, those who attend can ask Reed questions using the Zoom audio or chat functions.
