Whether you're in the market for a new jacket for yourself or as a convenient holiday gift, this is the perfect opportunity to score big!
The Alfred Marketing Association (AMA Club) is raffling off a brand new, down-insulated puffer jacket from The North Face just in time for another frigid Alfred winter!
This raffle is open to the public and funds from the raffle will be used to support the club.
You can purchase tickets from AMA reps at the next two football games, 11/8 and 11/15, or look for flyers across campus and in town for a Venmo QR code.
If purchasing via Venmo, be sure to include your full name and contact information with your purchase so we can easily track ticket purchases and communicate if you've won.
Thank you for supporting the AMA Student Organization!

Do you create posters, PowerPoint presentations, signs, or logos? This workshop will look at some basic graphic design principles that can inform and improve your work.
On November 20, Guest presenter Anthony Nguyen from our School of Fine Art will lead a discussion on the good, the bad, and the ugly when it comes to graphics design.
This is not a Photoshop class with click-here-do-this exercises. Instead, we will be looking at creative approaches that can guide your process.
Like all creative endeavors, there are aspects that will be rooted in the creator's vision and imagination. However, when trying to effectively communicate a message, there are some overarching concepts that can help strengthen the presentation of that message.
There are no "rules," but there is guidance that can help improve designs, increase attention, and enhance engagement.
Please RSVP, and bring your questions and your designs to this enlightening discussion, held in the Prunty-Russo MediaLab in the Powell Campus Center.
