To the Pioneer Family,
From my first impression through today, I recognize that Alfred State College has already achieved greatness and this dedicated team of Pioneers is working hard to be even better. Our mission, vision, and core values have not changed because we are on the right track. As president, it’s my role to identify areas to improve, while also celebrating success and building upon it.
It’s with this positive can-do attitude that more than 30 faculty and staff members spent months developing our strategic plan with input from hundreds more. We included input from students, parents, alumni, donors, faculty, staff, and community members. My thanks to co-chairs Dr. Greg Sammons and Dan Jardine along with everyone who contributed.
Our team focused on ways to keep this road map to our future clear and concise so that every Pioneer can share the same vision for success. You'll notice that this planning document matches our brand and advertising to show how Pioneers are authentic and sincere from internal strategies to our public image. There are three themes in our strategic plan, and they are as simple to remember as A-S-C.
- Attract New Pioneers – Grow our family by appealing to students, parents, faculty, staff, and donors.
- Strengthen Academic & Student Success – Build on our achievements and climb to a higher level.
- Cultivate a Caring Community – Ensure that our scenic and tight-knit village embraces everyone.
Next, we must take action, measure success, adapt based on results, and move ahead. Every one of us has the responsibility to follow our strategic plan and make improvements in our respective areas. The Office of Institutional Research continually monitors key performance indicators with reports available to faculty and staff at my.AlfredState.edu/IR and this plan will stay updated to the public at AlfredState.edu/strategic-plan.
Through it all, I’ll be here every step of the way cheering you on. Now, let’s roll up our sleeves and once again prove that our community is “Strong as an Ox.”
Go, Pioneers!
