Help us welcome first-year students to campus in a BIG way! Marchers and volunteers are needed for Buffalo State College's 15th annual First-Year Convocation, which will be held in person on Friday, August 27, at 10:00 a.m. in the Student Union Plaza. First-Year Convocation gives our newest students an opportunity to be officially introduced and welcomed into our academic community. Additionally, it offers a visible representation of the true network of support available to students throughout their academic career. First-Year Convocation also embeds the idea that we are a community that thrives on supporting our students to create future generations of scholars.

First-Year Convocation requires the enthusiastic participation of the entire campus community to succeed. All departments and offices are encouraged to support this event by allowing personnel to march in the academic processional in regalia* or to volunteer to assist with the various aspects of First-Year Convocation. After a year of remarkable changes, it is our hope to reinforce Buffalo State's commitment to first-year students while providing the official academic welcome to the Class of 2025. Please register online by Friday, August 20.

*Note regarding regalia: A limited number and variety of gowns are available for loan through the Academic Affairs Office and a regalia loan request from the Barnes & Noble at Buffalo State Bookstore. Please provide your own hood and cap, either rented or owned, if possible. If you have questions, please email us at atp@buffalostate.edu.

Thank you for your dedicated service and commitment to our students!
