Staffing Changes in Undergraduate Admissions, Graduate School

Starting Wednesday, July 5, Carmela Thompson, director of admissions, will assume a new position in the Graduate School as assistant dean for recruitment and marketing, reporting directly to the interim dean.

As a member of the senior team, she will provide expertise and leadership for the Graduate School’s strategic plan. In her new role, she will oversee the implementation of a customer relationship management (CRM) system and be responsible for recruiting and marketing to current Buffalo State undergraduate students. Please join me in thanking Dr. Thompson for her dedicated service to undergraduate admissions and offering well wishes for continued success in her new position.

Erin Alonzo, associate vice president for enrollment management, will serve as interim director of undergraduate admissions while a search is conducted for the next director. The search will commence this summer with an expected hire date later this calendar year.

Dean Reinhart, associate director of undergraduate admissions, will continue to serve in a leadership role in the Admissions Office, but his election as UUP chapter president and consequent 50 percent release time will require some of his duties to be temporarily reassigned. Dr. Reinhart will remain a supervisor for the first-year admissions team while welcoming staff from the New York City regional admissions office and the assistant director of international admissions to this team.

These structural changes are part of a larger reorganization of the undergraduate Admissions Office that will take place over the next several months.
