Alfred State College Students Innovate to Enhance Campus Mail Services

Students from Alfred State College, guided by Assistant Professors Holly Chase and Susan Gorman, recently showcased proposals to improve the campus mail services. These proposals were the result of a semester-long project by students in upper-level Management Information Systems and Strategic Marketing classes. The project challenged students to develop practical solutions to enhance the mail services at the college.

During the semester, the students conducted research that included tours of the current facilities, analysis of similar service centers, surveys of the campus community, and consultations with vendors. This research helped them understand the current system's strengths and weaknesses and informed their improvements.

The students proposed a variety of enhancements, including technological upgrades, rebranding, and a redesign of the mail center's layout to improve storage and functionality. Their suggestions aimed to make the operations more efficient and improve the experience for students and staff.

The project also encouraged teamwork across different disciplines, with students from business administration, technology management, and construction management contributing. This interdisciplinary approach was crucial in crafting effective solutions.
