10th Annual Bengal 5K Run and Fun Walk
Buffalo mayor Byron Brown, '83, will kick off the race, and Claudine Ewing, '92, news reporter for WGRZ-TV 2, will serve as master of ceremonies for the Post-Race Bengal Brunch.
Advance registration will run through March 21 at a cost of $18 (general), $16 (Buffalo State faculty, staff, or alumnus), or $10 (student, any age). Fees increase after March 21. A special advance registration discount for groups of 10 or more Buffalo State faculty/staff members or students (from any school, college, university, etc.) representing a sports team, residence hall, club, and/or organization is being offered. This is a Champion Chip race, and designer race T-shirts will be given to the first 400 registrants.
Our race has also teamed up with Canisius High School and Canisius College for a new series of races called the Queen City Triple Crown. Participate in the Chilly Challenge on February 25, Bengal 5K on March 24, and Shoes for the Shelter on April 15 and have a chance to win special awards based on cumulative times earned through participation in all three races.
Following the Begal 5K, enjoy great food and beverages, fellowship, and fun at the popular Post-Race Bengal Brunch and a chance to win fabulous door prizes. Awards will be given to the top male and female runners overall, top three male and female runners in a variety of age groups, top male and female Buffalo State faculty or staff runners, top male and female alumnus runners, and top male and female student runners. Special awards will also go to the student group with the largest number of race participants and to the Buffalo State faculty/staff team with the fastest time (based on the top five finishers).
To run, walk, or volunteer, contact Jen Small, race director, ext. 6001, or visit www.buffalostatebengal5k.org.
Senate Vacancies: Call for Nominations March 12–March 30
Faculty members, faculty librarians, and professional and support staff whose total service in the College Senate would not exceed six consecutive years by the end of this term (September 2007–August 2010) are eligible to run for office. Nominees are asked to provide a short statement about their interest in serving as an at-large or University Faculty senator, and post their statements on the Senate electronic voting site by sending the materials to Judy Janus, Senate secretary. Details are provided on the Senate Web site.
Individuals running for a senator position in another election may not also run for an at-large senator or University Faculty senator position while the other election is being conducted.
