The College and Community Partnerships Office at Buffalo State College was established in 2006 to provide a central focus to public and community collaboration at the college. These relationships, of some duration, provide mutual benefits to the college and the community. In keeping with the college's mission, vision, and strategic plan, the office provides institutional leadership, voice, visibility, and responsiveness to its associations with the community.
As such, the office's primary goal is to determine the nature of existing partnerships and to combine and connect those relationships for maximum impact. The office's secondary responsibility is to foster new partnerships that are mutually beneficial to the college and community and are supportive of the college mission.
Marian T. Deutschman, professor of communication, was appointed the Interim Director of the office in January 2006.
