Read the President's Letter

The ending of the academic year provides an opportunity to reflect on the extent, depth and quality of work our Buffalo State faculty and staff have devoted to ensuring that our students have had an exceptional, rewarding and successful experience. We’ve embraced our daily commitment to becoming a more student-centered campus and reinforced a culture of caring, an important focus set forth last fall in my State of the College Address.

I’m proud of all that each of you has done to make this a welcoming and engaging campus and a vibrant, dynamic learning environment.

For our students, this has also been an exciting year filled with aspirations achieved, educational excellence, and significant accomplishments in and outside the classroom. Now, with Commencement only a few days away, our Class of 2013 graduates are finishing their last moments as students here. The joy and exuberance of their graduation is something they will remember for the rest of their lives. They certainly have a lot to celebrate. And we join in celebrating the achievements of these incredibly talented, ambitious and dedicated new graduates who are an inspiration to us all.

Best wishes for a productive, gratifying close to the spring semester, and have an enjoyable time at Commencement festivities this coming weekend.
