As we continue to work through a significant volume of work orders and projects in Administrative Programming, I want to take an opportunity to remind you of some procedures that will help all of us work as effectively as possible. If you have a smaller programming request, please send those requests to [email protected]. Please do not send those initial programming requests directly to a specific programmer. This will allow us to route your request to a programmer who can best handle your request.
Also, if you have a larger request that you envision will require weeks (or even months) of concentrated programming time, please send those to myself <[email protected]>. Projects and larger requests require a conversation about prioritization.
Thank you for continued support and assistance,
Cheers and Fiat Lux!

The AU Wellness Center has seen a rise in communicable diseases this academic year, now including Norovirus. Please reference the mass email sent from Student Experience on March 18th, 2024 with information on Norovirus and its prevention. The link to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) page on Norovirus is also attached to this posting.
Effective handwashing and personal hygienic techniques are essential to prevent the spread of communicable disease. Please reference the attached graphic card from the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) on how to effectively wash your hands. Individuals should also maintain proper personal hygiene as well as keep their living and work environments clean. Whether it be properly cleaning produce you are consuming or disinfecting surfaces in your work and living environments with a disinfectant product (i.e. "Lysol" Spray), effective hygiene habits can help to keep yourself and those around you from getting sick.

Tuesday, April 16, 2pm Herrick Library Bookend Lounge
In anticipation of another beautiful Alfred summer full of exciting programs and events, campus event planners are invited to a Summer 2024 planning meeting.
Numerous offices, departments, schools, and colleges are involved in creating or supporting summer activities such as classes, workshops, events, or other programs.
The request for this meeting grew out of a conversation with the informal event planning group who desire to collect information, share resources, and collaborate on event planning on campus. This group comprised of staff and faculty across disparate campus offices and our regular meetings are open to all. Summer programs are robust and growing across campus.
The purpose of this meeting will be to create an opportunity for communication with stakeholders from across campus who are involved in any type of summer programming. This interdepartmental communication will help improve overall awareness of what summer 2024 will look like in Alfred. The goal is also to strengthen our collaborations and plan for and anticipate the impact on our support services.
This meeting will be in person as face-to-face interaction facilitates collaboration. We understand that in person is not an option for everyone, and we have included a Zoom link for those who need to join remotely.
If you know of someone not on this list that could benefit from or add to the conversation, please feel free to forward the invitation or contact [email protected] for the calendar invite or zoom link.
We hope you will join us!
Sincerely,
Mechele Romanchock
Director of Libraries
Isaac Matson
Pre-College Programs Coordinator
Caitlin Brown
Communications & Outreach Director
New York State College of Ceramics
