Hello, I
am Lynnette Lockwood, the Associate Editor of Tor Echo, and I want to
officially welcome you to Alfred State SUNY College of Technology. Alfred State
is a wonderful place to learn, grow, find your true passion, and discover who
you really are and what makes you truly happy. Make sure that you take full
advantage of the opportunities offered here at Alfred. Get involved in clubs
and organizations on campus and off campus. AU is across the street and they
will accept Alfred State students with open arms. You are invited to
participate in any club/organization AU has and any events. Alfred State
students can take classes at AU for free as long as you take at least 12
credits and maintain a 2.0 GPA. We have over 90 clubs and organizations and I
am sure you can find something that you want to do. Go out there make new
friends, and talk to people. Have fun but don’t forget to study. One of the
biggest challenges is finding a proper balance between clubs and study time.
Burn out can occur and that is not healthy.
Be wary
of the freshman 15. It’s not a rumor; it’s 100% true. There are many food
places around campus. The healthiest option and the most variety is the Terrace.
Try to limit your contact to Friendly’s, Taco Bell, Evergreen, and 10 Elm. If
you want to stay in shape and not gain as much weight, take walks around
campus, use the Mind Spa, or join the health and wellness club.
Everyone
here at Alfred State is very welcoming and willing to help in any way. If you
need help finding your way, feeling overwhelmed, don’t be afraid to ask any
upperclassman, faculty or staff for help. Savor your time here at Alfred State
because it will fly by. Don’t just sit on the sidelines. You’re your experience
memorable and leave behind your fingerprints on Alfred State.
