Family Volunteer Day
Fall Community Service Day was dubbed “Family Volunteer Day” this year and students were encouraged to bring their family, friends, fraternity brothers, sorority sisters, student organization members, and whoever else they considered to be a part of their “family.” 245 students served during Family Volunteer Day at 14 community sites, providing over 700 hours of service throughout the city. |

VSLC Wins Awards!
The VSLC was presented with the 2011 SUNY Outstanding Student Affairs Program Award for Student Affairs/Academic Affairs Collaboration on the 2010-2011 VSLC program Refugee Awareness Project: The World at Our Doorstep. The award, presented by the SUNY Office of University Life and Enrollment Management, recognized the program’s achievements and impacts in helping students, faculty, and our community better understand the refugee situation globally and in Buffalo, and encourage us all to appreciate, engage with, and better support our increasingly diverse communities.
For the sixth year in a row, Buffalo State has been named to the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll in recognition of its strong commitment to volunteering, service learning, and civic engagement. The Volunteer and Service-Learning Center handled the application process for the award, identifying 144,330 hours of volunteer work in the Western New York community by students, faculty, and staff in 2010-2011. Buffalo State has been represented on the honor roll each year since the inception of the list in 2006.
