Posted: Thursday, October 2, 2008Emeriti Luncheon to Be Held Saturday
The Emeriti Luncheon, held twice a year, will take place at 11:30 a.m. Saturday, October 4, in E. H. Butler Library 210. John Carbonara, professor emeritus of philosophy and religious studies, organizes the event. He said those who attend enjoy it very much.
“The group is made up of retired faculty members,” said Carbonara, who chairs the group. “It’s a nice way to see old friends and to keep in touch with each other and Buffalo State. The president joins us and tells us about any important events or plans.”
The deans also frequently attend. Benjamin Christy, dean of the School of Art and Humanities, joined the group last fall and spring. He plans to attend on Saturday as well.
“The luncheon is a wonderful social opportunity to connect with the former faculty members who developed Buffalo State’s academic foundation,” said Christy. “We thank them for their good work, which paved the way for current faculty and programs to thrive, and we provide updates on new college directions.”
Any retired faculty member who did not receive an invitation and who would like to attend the next luncheon should call Pamela Voyer, director of special events and protocol, at (716) 878-3725.
