Hello, friends and colleagues,
It's time once again to recognize the great things happening on campus!
First of all, I am pleased to announce that we are continuing with our plans for the new student leadership and civic engagement center. We recently held a successful open forum for the community to view models and schematics of the planned construction. Please see article below. Although the plan is to be in the building by 2013, we have recently hired the director of civic engagement and student leadership programs, Ashley Kehoe. Welcome, Ashley.
We have also filled the vacant position of vice president for academic affairs. Dr. Stephen Havlovic will take over the reins from Craig Clark on June 1. I thank Craig for his hard work during this process. I'd also like to draw your attention to SUNY and NYS initiatives:
In conjunction with SUNY partners and campuses, Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher is conducting a series of SUNY Strategic Plan launch events at several locations throughout New York State starting in mid-April 2010. Our "local" launch is scheduled for April 27 at Monroe Community College. I encourage you to support the SUNY/CUNY Empowerment Act. Gov. Paterson's proposed Public Higher Education Empowerment and Innovation Act is the most profound initiative to positively impact public higher education in New York State since the Nelson Rockefeller era. It will be good for SUNY and it will be good for Alfred State! Additionally, students, faculty, and staff have been busy and productive as you will see with the stories included in this message. I congratulate all of them on their accomplishments!
Warm regards,  John Anderson |

 Greetings from the Ashley Kehoe, Director of Civic Engagement and Student Leadership Programs!
I am thrilled to be serving in this role, and to be joining what I have already found to be an incredibly active, dynamic, and engaged group of students, faculty, staff, and community members. To me, civic engagement is a way of life, and a way of being. It is the process of becoming deeply involved in and connected to one's community through service, activism, advocacy, politics, research, business development, and much more. Civic engagement can be integrated into an academic curriculum through internships, service-learning, or community-based research, and it can also be incorporated into co-curricular opportunities such as philanthropic fundraising campaigns, community service trips, or student organizations with a humanitarian focus. Overall, I believe there is a wide range of ways to be civically engaged, and I look forward to supporting and collaborating on a variety of meaningful, high-impact initiatives at Alfred State College!
