We're excited to invite you to our upcoming Support Staff Retreat on Tuesday, May 19th from 9:30am - 11:30am.
This is a great opportunity to connect, learn, and explore resources that support both you and our students.

We'll cover a range of helpful and relevant topics, including:
*Tuition Exchange & Tuition Remission (Understanding the process)
*The difference between Statutory and Non-Statutory Employees.
*Student resources that support staff can share and utilize.
Afternoon Field Trips (1:00pm - 3:30pm):
After a break, we'll shift into some engaging experiences:
*Glass and sculpture demonstrations in Harder Hall
*Bird banding at Foster Lake
Whether you're looking to gain clarity on benefits, better support for students, or simply enjoy some time with colleagues, we hope you'll join us for all or part of the day.

We look forward to seeing you there.

The Alfred Food Pantry (community based, not the AU Food Bank) is seeking volunteers beginning in July 2026.
Volunteering for the Food Pantry is rewarding and easy. A volunteer may offer to take one, hour-long shift per month or as an "on call" volunteer, subbing for a regular worker when needed.
Regular shifts are every Tuesday and Thursday from 5:30 to 6:30 at the Alfred United Methodist Church on Moland Road. All volunteers must attend a training session where they shadow an experienced worker.
We also welcome High School students accompanied by a parent. We currently have workers who serve alongside their child on a regular shift. This is a great way for young people to garner community service points and feel involved in helping our growing food insecure population.
College students are encouraged as well and would work alongside one of our current volunteers.
If interested contact Luanne Crosby at [email protected]
