Buffalo State University’s annual First-Year Convocation will be held Friday, August 25, at 10:00 a.m. in the Performing Arts Center at Rockwell Hall as part of the final day of students’ welcome to campus. Overflow seating with simulcast viewing will be available in Ciminelli Recital Hall.

This event requires the enthusiastic participation of our campus community to succeed. Faculty, librarians, and professional staff members are urged to process in academic regalia* to demonstrate Buffalo State’s commitment to incoming students. Please register online by today, August 14, if you are available to march.

*Note regarding regalia: The Academic Affairs Office maintains a limited inventory of gowns for loan. Limited mortarboards, tams, and hoods are also available; hood colors will not match your discipline, and caps or tams may not be to size. You are encouraged to provide your own hood and cap, either rented or owned, if possible.

Please email Ann Delmont, administrative assistant 2 in Academic Affairs, to request a regalia loan. Please provide your highest degree earned, requested size (SM, MD, LG, XL), and whether you need a cap and/or hood as well. All requests must be made by Friday, August 18. Pickup is Wednesday, August 23, and Thursday, August 24, in the Academic Affairs Office, Cleveland Hall 519, where loans are to be returned the following week.

Thank you for helping us welcome the newest members of our Buffalo State community.

Please contact Carlos Jones, associate dean of the School of Arts and Sciences, with questions.
