Alfred State’s 2025 class of Chi Alpha Epsilon inductees
From Alfred State College,
Six Alfred State students were recently inducted in Chi Alpha Epsilon (XAE) national honor society. This was the thirteenth induction held by Alfred State’s Delta Chi Chapter.
Founded at West Chester University in PA in 1989, XAE national honor society was formed to recognize the academic achievements and excellence of students admitted to colleges and universities through non-traditional criteria. Since 1989, XAE has grown to include almost 200 different campuses in nineteen states.
Students who are invited to join XAE are full-time students who hold a minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA for at least two consecutive semesters and were admitted to college by way of developmental or higher education opportunity program.
The 2024-25 student inductees included Mamadou Barry, Malachi Galmer, Jennifer Morataya Garica, Gideon Holt, Christain Moore, and Ray Lee Smith.
Dean for Academic Support and Student Services Francine Staba and EOP Academic Counselor Savannah Heckman were honorary inductees.
Dr. Mark Montgomery, Vice President for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging and Chief Diversity Officer at SUNY Poly served as the guest speaker. Alfred State President Dr. Steve Mauro and Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Carrie Cokely were also in attendance to honor the newest inductees.
Prior to the 2025 induction ceremony, ASC had inducted 54 students and fifteen faculty/staff members into XAE.
