Celebrate Service, Celebrate Allegany kicked off its fifth year this past Saturday and proved to be a huge success, as approximately 300 student volunteers from ��Ӱֱ�� State, ��Ӱֱ�� University, and Houghton College came together to engage in community service projects throughout Allegany County.

Honors Program members learned details of the trip from the student team, including that lack of trailer space for the return trip at the end of the race required the students to drive to ��Ӱֱ�� from Moline, thus completing a cross-country journey in the 1953 vehicle. Students were treated to a lap around campus in the vintage truck.

The event is at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 25 and is convenient to both campuses at the corner where ��Ӱֱ�� University’s Welcome Center and ��Ӱֱ�� State’s main entrance sign are both located.

According to Associate Professor of Agriculture and Veterinary Technology Doug Pierson, the students will travel to Les Cayes, where they will put their skills to use caring for residents’ animals by participating in mobile clinics and coordinating with the local veterinary agent.

“I think the weekend was wonderful,” said Colleen Argentieri, director of Alumni Relations, and co-chair of the Homecoming and Family Weekend Committee. “Not only did the weather cooperate, but we could not have ordered a more perfect weekend, in terms of attendance.”

Offering 4.5 miles of trails and gorgeous views of nearby scenery, ��Ӱֱ�� State’s Pioneer Trail system is now officially open.

“The college has a long history of being a leader in sustainability, including classroom instruction, building a Zero Energy Home on the Wellsville campus, and leading a $2.8 million NYSERDA grant on clean energy training across New York State,” said Dr. Craig Clark, vice president of Economic Development at ��Ӱֱ�� State. “We look forward to continuing to lead through the REV process.”

Students and parents can register by going to or by calling 1-800-342-3811. This workshop is open to all prospective college students and their families, including those who do not plan to attend ��Ӱֱ�� State.

Classes began in Wellsville on Oct. 19, 1966 for 110 students enrolled in five programs taught by 10 faculty members. These five initial programs were automotive service, building construction, drafting, electrical service, and food service.

Green Dot is a program that asks its participants to imagine a map of their community, and how every time there is an instance of interpersonal or sexual violence, a Red Dot would be placed on the area in which that occurred.
