Please join us for Ann's House dedication

Alfred University students, faculty and staff are invited to join the AU Board of Trustees for the dedication of Ann's House, our new, environmentally friendly residence hall. The ceremony, which begins at 6:15 p.m. Friday, Oct. 16 at Ann's House, will be followed by a reception. It will be an opportunity to not only see the new residence, but also express our gratitude to Joel '61 and Ann Moskowitz, whose generous gift made it possible for AU to build Ann's House.
