Community Fair Success

On September 11^th, 2014 Alfred State hosted the 2nd annual Community Involvement in the Student Leadership Center. There were approximately 25 community-based organizations from Alfred and surrounding areas. Some of the organizations that were involved were Alfred Box of Books Library, Alfred Community Garden, Allegany Arc, Allegany County Youth Court, Almond Library, Children and Youth Learning Initiative, Hornell Family YMCA, and Turning Point Catholic Charities just to name a few. This fair is important to the college students because it offers the students a chance to become involved in civic engagement opportunities. The fair helps students connect with organizations that need volunteers, networking opportunities for internships and future employment. The students were even able to swipe their id card to add the event to their Co-Curricular Transcript to show to future employers.
