Recently, more than 240 Alfred State students received
awards, which were distributed through the mail, as the annual in-person Honors
Convocation ceremony was not possible this year. Provost Dr. Kristin Poppo said
the college congratulates these award recipients and is proud of their
accomplishments.
“The accomplishments of our students are exceptional and the
annual Honors Convocation is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate them,” Poppo
said. “In this time of isolation, I hope that every student recognizes how
proud we are of their accomplishments. Congratulations students, you are the
best!”
Awards and honors that were distributed include
scholarships, program-specific Outstanding Student Awards, induction into honor
societies, and recognition of membership in the Presidential Aspiring Leaders
