From the Chief Diversity Officer
On August 28, 2013, the United States celebrated the 50th anniversary of the historic March on Washington. This memorable event serves as a foundational element for the many freedoms and access we so enjoy today. Dr. Martin Luther King’s call for civil rights—for racial equality—remains a dream to be fully realized. His spectacular "I Have a Dream" speech ignited the march that served as a pivotal moment for race relations in the United States.

As the 2013–2014 academic year begins, let us be mindful of Buffalo State’s mission to embrace all aspects of diversity, one that fosters access for all. Our goal is to transform the lives of those we meet, to create meaningful experiences, positively influencing our neighboring communities and the world.

While much progress has taken place in the last 50 years, we must continue to protect the civil liberties of all. In doing so, we can all say "let freedom ring, let freedom ring."
