Welcome back, students, to Alfred State. I hope that the
semester goes well for each one of you. Have fun but don’t forget to study. A
new exciting plan happening this semester is referred to on the front page.
Kory Shick and Nicholas Ferraro, both Alfred State College students, have been
nominated for two town board positions. The election will be in March but this
event got me thinking. Will this encourage more voting among college students
at Alfred State? Getting these students elected into these positions will help
the college and the students be more respected into the community. Currently 1/2
of people between the age of 18-29 are registered to vote in the USA. It’s sad
to think that less than 1/3 of the half actually vote in elections. Voting is a
simple process that can be done anytime once a person turns 18. The college has
recently teamed up with Turbovote.com to helps students register to vote,
update voter registration, get absentee ballots, and get reminders to make sure
they don’t forget to vote. Get out there, get involved, and make a difference
in your Alfred State Community. We deserve to be respected. Don’t sit on the
sidelines and let your college experience get ruined by not taking a stand to
the community.
