Welcome Back Welcome back for the spring 2003 semester. I hope everyone had an opportunity over the holidays to relax and spend pleasant time with friends and family. As we begin the new term, many new developments and initiatives are on the horizon. I look forward to working with members of the campus community to plan for our future. We are beginning to get a clearer idea of what the next New York State budget might mean for SUNY. We are also ready to begin implementation of our strategic plan. I look forward to speaking with the campus community about some of these issues in a few weeks in my State of the College address, which will be held in a town meeting–style gathering at 12:15 p.m. Thursday, February 20 in Bulger Communication Center West. All faculty, staff, and students are invited to attend. I wish everyone a rewarding semester as we work to fulfill the mission of Buffalo State College. back to top   Focus on Scholarship and Creativity Symposium Please reserve Tuesday, February 4 and Thursday, February 6 during Bengal Pause (12:15–1:30 p.m.) to attend the 2003 Focus on Scholarship and Creativity Symposium.
