Thank-a-thon: Help Thank Our Donors!

Encourage your students to write thank-you cards to the donors who make their attendance at Alfred University possible.

You are also invited to stop by and write your own thank-you card to the donors who do so much for AU. Without the contributions from alumni and friends, the University's ability to attract and keep quality students would be reduced.

The Thank-a-thon event will take place Monday, Jan. 20 from 5:30-8 p.m. in Ade Hall.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Sean Roberts by email at [email protected]
