💙💛 Building Pioneer Connections in Raleigh! 💙💛

A heartfelt thank you to Anthony Sylvester ’18 and Jillian Sylvester ’17 for coordinating and hosting our recent Raleigh Area Alumni Gathering at Boxyard RTP!

Anthony, a 2018 graduate of our Computer Engineering Technology program, played lacrosse during his freshman year and Club Hockey during his senior year at Alfred State. He is now serving as our Raleigh Area Alumni Chapter Chair and helping create new opportunities for Pioneers in the area to stay connected.

Jillian, a 2017 graduate of our Technology Management program, was a member of the Pioneer softball team. Their Alfred State story has an extra special connection, Anthony and Jillian met while serving as RAs on campus! 💙

We are so excited about the formation of this new alumni chapter and the opportunities it will provide for Pioneers throughout the Raleigh-Durham area to reconnect, build new friendships, network, and maintain that special connection to “Home” at Alfred State, no matter how many miles away life takes them.

Thank you, Anthony and Jillian, for taking the lead in bringing our Pioneer family together and helping build a new home away from home for Alfred State alumni in the Raleigh area! 💙💛

📍 Are you an Alfred State alum or friend in the Raleigh-Durham area? We’d love to have you be part of this growing chapter!
