A prime example of this is the collegeâs autobody wreck/rebuild program. Students in the collegeâs autobody repair major enhance their skill sets by fixing wrecked vehicles, and also gain insight into what itâs like to work inside a live collision shop. While students were previously responsible for providing their own vehicles to work on, the vehicles are now secured through funding provided by the Educational Foundation of Alfred, Inc., a private foundation dedicated to improving the Alfred State community through the support of educational programs. CJ Tremper, automotive trades instructor, said the Ed Foundation possesses a New York state automobile dealerâs license that allows the college to purchase wrecked cars from auto-salvage auctions â the vehicles are then used for hands-on projects. The foundation covers the cost of purchasing these cars and also any parts or materials that are needed to bring them back to pre-accident condition.
