On the topic of accolades, Alfred State College President Dr. Stephen Mauro gave the Spring 2024 address this week. “The hard work of our faculty and staff has been key to our success,” stated Mauro. “We have the opportunity to continue to build on our success and I look forward to what lies ahead as we move towards our goals.”
Towards the end of his address, Mauro asked faculty and staff to share their success stories. Stories from inside and outside the classroom fostered the college’s goals. After a few stories were shared, he introduced a new award, the Pioneer Spotlight Award.
The award is for individuals who have distinguished themselves by meritorious participation in an act, an operation, or an effort directed toward an individual or group that resulted in a significant outcome positively impacting the life of others.
The inaugural recipient of the award was Automotive Trades Professor Michael Ronan. Ronan was credited for his quick response to a medical emergency in his classroom during the fall semester.
The first day of classes for the Spring 2024 semester is January 22.
