Members of the Buffalo State faculty and staff will once again participate in the Ride for Roswell fundraising event, held this year on Saturday, June 23. Riders can choose from nine different routes, ranging from the 3-mile Family Ride to the 104-mile Century for the serious rider!

The ride begins at the University at Buffalo’s Baird Point on the North Campus. We would love to have you join our team to help raise critical funds for cancer research! If you prefer not to ride, you may make a donation directly to the team at http://rideforroswell2012.kintera.org/bsc. Visit our Facebook page or visit www.rideforroswell.org for more details.

Thank you for your support! For further information, please contact Jennifer Jackson, ext. 4628.

Windows on Bishop Hall and Chase Hall will be replaced as part of Buffalo State's ongoing efforts to address critical maintenance needs. Work is scheduled to begin Monday, June 4, on Bishop Hall, where office windows and entrance window walls will be replaced. A future Daily Bulletin message will advise the campus community when work will proceed to Chase Hall.

As part of this project, asbestos-containing caulk will be removed and abated from window openings. Work will be conducted by a contractor and monitored by an independent consultant to ensure that abatement operations are performed in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations. Windows and caulk will be removed and replaced from the exterior after the window openings have been enclosed in plastic from the interior. Plastic will remain on each window for approximately three days.

Workers will need to enter Bishop Hall interior spaces to make project preparations. We would appreciate the assistance and cooperation of Bishop Hall occupants in providing workers with the necessary access. In addition, we ask building occupants to please move objects away from windows and clear off window sills. Minor disruptions during the project may include noise, vibration, and dust.

Please refer to www.buffalostate.edu/construction for further information about current and upcoming construction on campus. Questions about this project can be directed to vpfm@buffalostate.edu. Your patience and understanding are greatly appreciated.
