Like Outdoors? Join Us for Friday Night Hikes!

Come join WILD About Alfred for a leisurely hike this Friday at 6 p.m.! A WILD about Alfred representative will lead a hike every Friday when school is in session starting at 6 p.m.

We meet on the first floor of Powell Campus Center (near the mailroom). The hike is a little less than three miles long and takes just over an hour depending on pace.

Even if you have never been on a hike or experienced a forest in your life we will be more than glad to help you experience the wonderful outdoors that the Alfred area has to offer!

Need to Order Your AU Business Cards?

The process for ordering official Alfred University business cards changed as of February 2014. We are now working with the Alfred State College Document Center, and a virtual storefront has been developed specifically for ordering our business cards online.

The link to that storefront is:

https://v2.printsys.net/

Log on: AlfredUniversity Password: AlfredUniversity1

There are two templates from which to choose: the first template is indicated for only Admissions and Financial Aid offices because they require specific phone number options; and the second template is designed to accommodate all other offices.

When you double click on your selection, a new window will open that contains a form with fields to enter your information. As the fields are filled, the information will show up on the template at the right so you will see how the business card will look upon completion. Once all the information has been entered, you will proceed to a shopping cart that has options for quantity and payment, using your AU One Card.

In order to maintain the brand identity of the University, a PDF of the card will be emailed to the Office of Communications for review/approval. Once the cards are printed, you will be notified so that you can pick them up at the ASC Document Center, 10 Upper College Drive (607.587.3532). ASC does not deliver at this time. The design and specifications of color and paper are based upon the official AU business card format that is currently in use.

IMPORTANT: For situations where you do not have access to an AU One Card, or a required deviation from the standard format cannot be included within the two template options, you will need to contact Rick McLay at [email protected] so that a design can be created and provided to the ASC Document Center. In those situations, the online purchase option will not be available and a paper invoice will be sent to you by the ASC Document Center.

Please contact the Alfred University Office of Communications at 2103 if you have any questions.

A Matter of Balance Program

Have you turned down a chance to go out with family or friends because you were concerned about falling? Do you have a fear of falling? If so, A Matter of Balance: Managing Concerns About Falls is a program for you.

Fear of falling can be just as dangerous as falling itself. People who develop this fear often limit their activities, which can result in severe physical weakness, making the risk of falling even greater. Many older adults also experience increased isolation and depression when they limit their interactions with family and friends. A Matter of Balance can help people improve their quality of life and remain independent.

A Matter of Balance is designed to reduce the fear of falling and increase activity levels among older adults. Participants learn to set realistic goals to increase activity, change their environment to reduce fall risk factors, and learn simple exercises to increase strength and balance.

The Allegany/Western Steuben Rural Health Network, Inc. in conjunction with the Allegany County Fall Prevention Collaborative is offering the course A Matter of Balance: Managing Concerns About Falls Thursdays and Mondays, throughout the months of October and November 2014, starting Thursday, Oct. 16 and ending Monday, Nov. 10. The class is scheduled 2-4 p.m. at the Union University Church, Alfred. Each class will build upon the previous week making it extremely important to attend all sessions.

The registration fee is $10. Scholarships are available upon request. A workbook is provided and refreshments are served.

Pre-registration is required by contacting Melissa Biddle, Community Health Program Manager at the Allegany/Western Steuben Rural Health Network, Inc. at 585.593.5223 ext. 15, by Friday, Oct. 10, 2014. Space is limited so don't hesitate to register today.

The class agenda is as follows:

Thursday, Oct. 16 Introduction to the Program

Monday, Oct. 20 Exploring Thoughts and Concerns About Falling Thursday, Oct. 23 Exercise and Fall Prevention

Monday, Oct. 27 Assertiveness and Fall Prevention Thursday, Oct. 30 Managing Concerns About Falling Monday, Nov. 3 Recognizing Fall-ty Habits
