I know that a lot of factors go into a decision whether to apply for a position or not. On this page I want to give you an institutional perspective and my own personal perspective. The goal of the college is to inspire a lifelong passion for learning, and to empower a diverse population of students to succeed as citizens of a challenging world. Toward this goal, and in order to enhance the quality of life in Buffalo and the larger community, the college is dedicated to excellence in teaching and scholarship, cultural enrichment and service.
Buffalo State is a diverse campus with a community committed to student success.
We have some work to do, but we are reaching our goals in a collegial, consultative manner. I came to Buffalo State in 1987 right out of graduate school. Being from New Orleans, I didn't think I could survive even one winter. The fact is, the national press loves to pick on us. The winters aren't that bad, and the city has wonderful things to offer.
