Alfred Area Food Pantry needs volunteers

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]

Update to Reserving Classrooms process!

The room reservation process is having a small update! Starting this summer, instead of the typical spreadsheet, we will switching to a new Banner Events Calendar to show when classrooms are available. ??

You can find the link to the new calendar here, on the Reserving Classrooms webpage, or on the landing page of BannerWeb.

Things to note:
* Nothing on the side of the requestor is changing ??
* Viewing options are on the right-hand side
* The little gear symbol on the left side is how to switch buildings or rooms
* Classes are orange while reservation events are a grayish -blue color

We are incredibly excited to share this new process with you all. Please reach out to [email protected] if you have any question.

Should your post be an Alfred Today Announcement or an Event?

Campus community,

We have noticed a large influx of Alfred Today announcements over the past academic year that could likely be events posted to the event calendar instead.

Before posting to Alfred Today, please consider whether an informational item should be created on the event calendar or posted as an announcement.

What's the difference? Events take place at a specific location, at a given date and time.

If your informational item doesn't have a location, date or time - then it is likely an announcement for Alfred Today.

Interested in learning how to post an Alfred Today Announcement? Take the tour: https://my.alfred.edu/aut...

Event calendar documentation: https://my.alfred.edu/aut...

Guidelines for Alfred Today/Calendar of Events: https://my.alfred.edu/aut...

If you have any questions, please contact [email protected].

Thank you!

Deadline for FY2026 Orders

Please be advised that purchasing with operating budget dollars (110000 or 111000 funds) for FY26 will be closed at the end of day on Friday, June 5th.

As a reminder, please make sure that you complete all goods receipts and process any approvals in a timely manner. This helps to ensure that all fiscal year 2026 expenditures are processed prior to the June 30th deadline.

Please note - if an order is placed prior to June 30th, but the goods are not received and/or invoiced by June 30th, then that charge will be moved to the 2027 fiscal year budget.

If you are aware of an order in The Saxon Shop that you know will not be received prior to June 30th, please let the Procurement Office know.

Thank you.
