Buffalo State Grad Student Steeped in History As curator for the historic Fraunces Tavern Museum in New York City, Buffalo State graduate student Suzanne Prabucki has been cataloguing the more than 5,000 Revolutionary War documents, artifacts, and paintings housed at this landmark site. As her work progressed over the past two years, Prabucki saw and seized an opportunity: developing the first print catalogue about the museum’s collection, its history, and care. With that in mind, Prabucki switched her master’s thesis from the topic of Western New York architecture to the Fraunces Tavern Museum catalogue. She expects to complete the publication next month and earn her M.A. in history with a museum studies concentration. “People always associate the Revolutionary War with what was happening in Philadelphia and Boston, but actually there was a lot going on in New York City during and after the war,” said Prabucki. “It’s exciting to be here and have the opportunity to help tell that part of the story.”More |

Heard About the Buffaloes in Upton Hall? Buffalo State ceramics students and alumni are creating 55 mini buffaloes to be painted by local artists and auctioned at the Roswell Park Cancer Institute November Gala, benefitting research and patient care. It’s a time-consuming process, taking approximately five hours to birth a mini buffalo. The buffaloes are based on an original model created by Stephen Saracino, professor of design. The students and alumni follow a multi-step slipcast and assembly process, typically used to make complicated porcelain figurines. “It’s a great cause and a great learning process,” said Robert Wood, professor of design. “And, it brings together our students, our alums, and our community.” Wood was involved in the original Herd About Buffalo auction ten years ago, which raised approximately $75,000 for Roswell Park. When Roswell Park fundraisers decided to do a repeat stampede, they quickly turned to the Buffalo State College Design Department. Roswell Park's white-tie fundraiser is scheduled for November 13, 6 p.m. at Shea’s Performing Arts Center. http://www.buffalostate.edu/design/ceramics.xml |
