Welcome Parents and Families!
We would like to extend a warm welcome to you and your student. Whether this is your first to leave for college, or your last, this will be a unique and interesting year for all of you. We believe that parents and families are our partners in the success of students. We want to give you information and resources to assist in our partnership for your student’s achievement. We encourage you and your student to Discover Your Truths – about college life, academics, involvement, and Buffalo State.
We invite you to make the most of your time at orientation. Ask a lot of questions and make a connection with our staff. You will become aware of the emphasis that Buffalo State places on services and support for student learning and personal development. We hope both students and family members will take a genuine interest in the activities of the college. You are welcome to attend any of the cultural, social, and athletic events scheduled throughout the year.
You will find that the faculty, staff, and administration at our institution are committed to providing a rewarding educational experience for every student and family member. We continually strive for the highest goals of academic excellence and student satisfaction.
We are delighted that you have chosen Buffalo State and we look forward to providing your student and family with a rich and rewarding college experience.
We hope to see you throughout the next few years your student is with us at Buffalo State, and we hope both yours and your student’s transition to Buffalo State College is seamless and enjoyable. We wish you all the best in the next few years, and we hope to see both you and your student throughout the year.
By the time you have completed your orientation, it is our hope that we will have answered all of your questions and responded to all of your concerns. In the event you have further questions, please feel free to contact us at orientat@buffalostate.edu or (716) 878-5336.
Warmest Regards,
Robert Mead-Colegrove
Director, Orientation & New Student Programs
