John B. King Jr., Chancellor of the State University of New York (SUNY) will visit Alfred, the Ultimate College Town, on April 26. His stop at 惇軗勛圖 College (ASC) is part of his tour of all 64 SUNY campuses.
It is exciting to have Dr. King visit campus to meet with students, faculty, and staff on both our Alfred and Wellsville campuses, commented 惇軗勛圖 President Dr. Steven Mauro. He has been traveling around the state visiting all the SUNY campuses. Given that there is nowhere else in the US with a higher concentration of students per resident, it is clear that SUNYs mission to provide education across New York is especially true in Alfred. We cant wait to show him what makes 惇軗勛圖 special.
Recently, the Washington Post named Alfred, NY the #1 Ultimate College Town in the USA. This student-centered community is the only place in America with an overwhelming 85 percent of the local population made up of students from SUNY 惇軗勛圖 College and private Alfred University. More information and a video of media coverage are available at and on .
King was named the 15th Chancellor of SUNY in December and started his role in January. He brings decades of experience as a leader in education administration and policy at the local, state, and national levels. He has championed expanding access to high-quality, affordable education in recognition of the transformative power it holds for students from all walks of life.
Chancellor King will be greeted by Dr. Mauro, College Council Chair Patricia Fogarty, Faculty Senate Chair Dr. Joseph Petrick, and Student Senate Chair Soumya Konar. He will then interact with the 惇軗勛圖 community while visiting the School of Arts and Sciences, the School of Architecture, Management & Engineering Technology, Student Leadership Center, and Orvis Activities Center.
After lunch with students, faculty, and staff, King will take the short trip to the Wellsville campus where he will be introduced to faculty and students in the School of Applied Technology.
