Readers will continue to be alerted through e-mail when new issues are posted. Publication will commence August 23.
The new Bulletin will feature news and information relevant to the campus community regarding Buffalo State College, the State University of New York, and higher education. The publication will also showcase the academic and creative accomplishments of Buffalo State faculty and staff members, as well as the college's public and media relations efforts, its scholarly events and forums, and its integral relationship with Western New York. The Bulletin will continue to be the official source for policy, personnel, and curricular matters.
Faculty and staff achievements will move from the Insider to the Bulletin to permit more timely recognition of activities. Please continue to submit achievements via the online form or e-mail.
College Relations welcomes ideas and suggestions for Bulletin articles. To contribute or discuss submissions, please contact Nancy Paschke, ext. 4237.
