It's Hunting Season! Be careful!

For your safety, we would like to notify you of this year's date range for big game hunting season in Western New York. The first season began Saturday, November 19th this year (sunrise to sunset), and the final season is over on Sunday, Dec. 11.

Please be very careful if you decide to walk in any wooded area during this time. If you do, wear blaze orange or some other very bright color. If you see a POSTED sign, get the landowner's permission to enter or you could be fined for trespassing.

Hunting is not allowed on Alfred University property which includes the woods behind the campus and around Foster Lake.

Thanksgiving release. Feel free to contact the payroll department if you have questions or problems.
