Alumni Legacy Family Tree

Alumni family graduates

Starting September 2021, the campus will begin a year-long celebration for our 150th sesquicentennial anniversary.

Calling all alumni: How many of your family members graduated from Buffalo State? We want to hear from you. Did your spouse, child, parent, sibling, cousin, aunt, uncle, grandparent, or great grandparent graduate here? Share your family’s history, register, and participate in our Alumni Legacy Family Tree contest.
