From the Vice President for Institutional Advancement
Please join me in congratulating Jennifer Heisey, director of the Buffalo State Alumni Affairs Office, who has accepted the position of associate vice president for alumni relations at the University of Louisville. Jennifer’s tenure at Buffalo State has been filled with many accomplishments, and she will be missed. Her last day on campus will be June 22.
While we conduct a national search for Jennifer’s replacement, I have asked Bill Benfanti, associate vice president for government relations, to serve as interim director of the Buffalo State Alumni Affairs Office. I am confident that Bill’s excellent leadership and networking skills will be beneficial as we continue the good work that is under way with our more than 100,000 alumni. Kelly Mazella, communication manager for alumni affairs, will assume additional responsibilities during the transition, while Mary Jo Jagord, business manager for alumni affairs, will be a key contact for the upcoming Reunion Weekend, July 20–22.
Alumni Affairs staff members can be reached at ext. 6111. Thank you for your cooperation during the transition.

To facilitate the underground utilities rehabilitation project currently under way, campus traffic and parking will be affected as follows:
East End Closure of Iroquois Drive, May 18–20
Beginning at 6:00 a.m. Friday, May 18, the eastern portion of Iroquois Drive will be closed to traffic. The closure is scheduled to remain in place until 6:00 p.m. Sunday, May 20. A “Road Closed” barricade will be placed on Iroquois Drive at Elmwood Avenue, preventing traffic from entering Iroquois Drive from Elmwood Avenue.
