On Thursday, April 30, the Alfred University and Alfred State College athletic departments gathered in the shadow of the lone stoplight in the village to announce the result of the inaugural Alfred Cup competition. The year-long competition ended with Alfred University edging Alfred State by two points, 12-10.

An Alfred University senior studying business noticed something most of her classmates had probably stopped thinking about: every business student at Alfred is required to have a LinkedIn profile, and almost none of them were taught what to do with it. That gap became her research question, and the basis for a project that sits at the intersection of professional development, platform behavior, and AI.

Two Alfred University students spent a semester asking a question every analytics program in the country is now wrestling with: what actually happens when students hand their coding work to AI? Their answer is honest and a little uncomfortable: the tools speed things up, but the connection to the work fades.

Advanced ceramic and glass materials are critical to aerospace, semiconductor manufacturing – including hardware for quantum computing – clean energy systems, healthcare and more. Ceramics—defined as inorganic, non-metallic materials—perform where other materials fail. They are perhaps the widest class of materials with the widest range of materials behaviors with the potential to serve in the widest range of service environments.
