From the Chair of the Buffalo State Senate
Please consider participating in the final Future Forward Forum (faculty and staff focused) on Friday, April 7, from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. in the Campbell Student Union Assembly Hall to engage in discussions regarding future pathways, opportunities, and possibilities for Buffalo State University. The themes that emerge from the campus forums will suggest opportunities that the campus might explore in the next decade or so. A facilitator, Morgan Williams-Bryant, will work with graduate students from the Higher Education Administration Department to gather feedback during these sessions and will turn the information over to the Future Forward Committee, which will develop a white paper delineating opportunities to be available to the campus community.

Please register online for the forum.

If you were not able to attend a forum or if you have additional input, please complete this short survey by Monday, April 10, so that your comments can be considered.

Below are the guiding questions asked at each forum. These were developed by a group of campus individuals convened by President Katherine Conway Turner and College Senate Chair Kimberly Kline. Time was also allotted at each forum for more general comments about future pathways, opportunities, and possibilities.

Guiding Questions

1. In what new ways can we engage our students moving forward?
2. How does our new designation as a university change how we see ourselves moving forward at Buffalo State?
3. To meet the demands of today’s workforce, what are the programs we need to modify or create to meet the contemporary needs of our students?
4. Given our commitment to applied research and community engagement experiences, what are some opportunities we might explore in areas such as service orientation, cultural competencies, and appreciation of scientific inquiry?
