SABRE Training Sessions
Respondents indicated a need for increased information about using the SABRE system. Introductory and refresher training sessions will be held in CyberQuad, E. H. Butler Library 318; dates and times are listed below. Registration is not required, but those who register will receive a reminder e-mail the day before their session. Register via e-mail at SABREsupport@buffalostate.edu. Session information, including the agenda, will be posted at www.buffalostate.edu/sabre/facstaff.
Introductory Sessions (for first-time SABRE users or those who want a slower pace)
Refresher Sessions
CDHS Reception
Representatives of the college's overseas programs, as well as representatives from other SUNY
campuses, will speak with students about the more than 400 opportunities
available in 57 countries. Information about financial aid and scholarships for international study
will be provided. Students who visit at least four exhibitors will be registered for a drawing for
airline vouchers, Sabres tickets, and an array of other travel-related prizes. Refreshments will be
served.
Faculty and staff are urged to encourage students to participate in the fair and to learn about the
world of opportunities that awaits them. The event is sponsored by the International Education
Office.
The goal of this celebration is to effectively highlight the quality and diversity of
the scholarly and creative activities of faculty and staff at the college. Significant
changes made this year should better enable faculty and staff to both present
and interact with their colleagues.
Faculty and staff should have received a call for papers via e-mail, which outlined
the procedure for submitting proposals. For more information, call
Richard Podemski, dean of graduate studies and research, at ext. 5609, or Gina
Game, senior administrative assistant, Buffalo State College Research Foundation, at ext. 6700.
Receipt of Legal Papers Served on the College
The associate vice president for finance and management/comptroller is the college's
official liaison to the University Counsel Office for the purpose of receipt of service of legal papers
on the college, notification of the area of the college affected (required to respond), and
decision about who should notify University Counsel, the attorney general, or other parties.
When legal papers of any kind are served upon a campus employee or the college, the
campus liaison should be contacted immediately and the legal papers should be
forwarded to the liaison.
If the associate vice president for finance and management/comptroller is unavailable, the
referral should be made to the assistant vice president for finance and management.
This procedure is especially important when legal papers request personnel files or
information on students or are requests made under the USA Patriot Act. Various legal
rights, such as those afforded by FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act), the
Personal Privacy Protection law, and collective bargaining agreements, are involved in
those situations.
SEFA/United Way Campaign Continues
