Thank you to the faculty and professional staff members who have already registered to march in Commencement ceremonies on Saturday, May 13. Many additional marchers for all three ceremonies are greatly needed to make the 145th Commencement a welcoming celebration for the Buffalo State Class of 2017. Please help in honoring our graduates and welcoming their guests to campus by registering online to march.

Degree candidates will attend ceremonies by schools as follows:

Faculty members are requested to march with their schools and are also encouraged to march in either additional ceremony. Professional staff members who are not volunteer ushering are encouraged to march in one or more ceremonies of their choice. Please contact Patricia Alessandra, commencement director for academics, with questions.
