Activities and Organizations

There's more to your education than classroom learning. Participation in clubs, student government, and other on-campus activities provide leadership skills that last a lifetime. For example, this extreme gravity racer, designed and built by Alfred University students, competed in the 1.5 mile XGR Greenlight Gravity Series, a non-motorized car race down Tuna Canyon Road in Malibu, CA. The racer was one of only three university teams to compete among twelve teams, including professionals from Chrysler and Honda. Alfred's entry finished 6th in both time and speed,
