It seems that the Earth has been in a period of turbulence recently. Hurricanes, earthquakes and severe weather have consistently dominated the front page of many newspapers.

After a summer full of excitement, a new school year is once again upon us all. With a new year always comes new surprises at AU.

This fall, students returned to Alfred to find the new set of first-years already moved in. The class of 2015, keeping with tradition arrived on campus early for orientation.

While this may sound like the beginnings of a routine fall at AU, they are in fact quite out of the ordinary.
