Sophomore Building Trades: Building Construction major Jack LaRouech benefits from a scholarship he received to attend Alfred State. “It is a really good education. You build so much experience here and just having Alfred State on your resume is big. You get a lot of education and knowledge.”
LaRouech has enjoyed Alfred State so much he is considering pursuing an additional degree. “I have been deeply considering doing a 2+2 program and either getting a construction management or supervision degree. If I get the business knowledge and skills it will help me towards owning my own business.”
