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...

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

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

Thank you!

National Suicide Prevention Month

September is National Suicide Prevention Month

Join Alfred University as we recognize National Suicide Prevention Month by promoting hope, compassion, and the importance of reaching out. Together, we can help reduce stigma surrounding mental health, recognize the warning signs of suicide, and remind one another that support is always available.

If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available 24 hours a day. Call or text 988 to reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline for free and confidential support.

You Are Not Alone. Every Conversation Matters. Every Life Matters.

Join the "AU Social Media Network"

Do you manage a social media account affiliated with Alfred University? Join the AU Social Media Network, a new Teams channel for faculty, staff, and students who help manage social media on behalf of an AU department, program, office, organization, or other University-affiliated area.

The Teams channel will serve as a central place for the Social Media Manager to share resources, training, updates, best practices, and upcoming content opportunities, as well as answer social media questions.

It is also a space for collaboration across campus. Members can connect with others managing AU-affiliated accounts, share ideas and upcoming events, coordinate content, ask questions, and find opportunities for departments and teams to work together.
