Announcements
Posted: Friday, June 12, 2009A Message from Dennis Ponton: Interim Provost Announcement
I am pleased to announce that Kevin Railey, associate provost and dean of the Graduate School, will assume the role of interim provost when I become interim president on August 1.
br />Kevin has served as associate provost and dean of the Graduate School since May 2007. He came to Buffalo State as a member of the English Department in 1991, and chaired the department for eight years. He was interim associate vice president for enrollment management in 2005–2006. In 2003 he received the President’s Award for Excellence in the Advancement of Equity and Campus Diversity, and in 2005 he was awarded the SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Scholarship and Creative Activities.
br />I have every expectation that Kevin will bring the same degree of commitment, intelligence, and thoughtfulness to the provost’s office that he has brought to his work as professor, dean, and associate provost. Buffalo State is very fortunate to have capable and willing administrators like Kevin, particularly in this time of transition.
