Invitation: What the Carnegie Classification Means to Buffalo State - September 22

I cordially invite you to explore what the Carnegie Classification means to Buffalo State with Andrew Seligsohn, executive director of the Campus Compact, on Tuesday, September 22, from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. in the Burchfield Penney Art Center's Peter and Elizabeth C. Tower Auditorium

A reception will immediately follow the presentation. The favor of a reply is requested: RSVP.

Andrew Seligsohn became the fifth president of Campus Compact in June 2014, bringing to the organization his extensive experience in bringing higher education and communities together to solve problems and improve lives within a wide range of roles, from faculty members at small liberal arts colleges to executive-level administrators at large public and private universities.

Immediately before his appointment to Campus Compact, Seligsohn served as associate chancellor for civic engagement and strategic planning at Rutgers University–Camden, where he worked across the campus to develop a framework for enhancing the impact of the school’s civic engagement efforts in a focused manner, and oversaw the comprehensive leveraging of resources to positively influence and integrate students and faculty with the community. His leadership at Rutgers–Camden was also integral in advancing college access and success for underrepresented students by creating a home in the Office of Civic Engagement for the Hill Family Center for College Access and the Rutgers Future Scholars. Both programs provide support for first-generation students as they prepare for, apply to, and embark on postsecondary educational opportunities.

Prior to Rutgers–Camden, Seligsohn was the director of civic engagement learning at Princeton University. He also served as a faculty member in the Department of Political Science at Hartwick College from 2001 to 2007, where he earned tenure and promotion to the rank of associate professor. Seligsohn holds a Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota and a B.A. from Williams College. He also serves on the boards of directors for several community organizations in the Trenton and Camden, New Jersey, areas.
