Susan Maguire, associate professor of anthropology, will facilitate a Study-Away Interest Meeting on Tuesday, November 19, at 11:00 a.m. in South Wing 430.

Scholarships are available. Please tell students to attend the Study-Away Interest Meeting for more information.

Please join us for the Host Family Program: Building Connections between Alumni and Students on Wednesday, November 20, at 6:00 p.m. in the LoRusso Alumni and Visitor Center.

The Host Family Program at Buffalo State University is a unique initiative designed to foster community, support, and meaningful connections between alumni and current students. The Alumni Engagement Office is hosting a dinner to kick off this initiative, where alumni, faculty, staff, community members, and students will come together to share stories, experiences, and insights. This event provides students with a supportive network while allowing alumni and community members to give back in a personal and powerful way. The evening will consist of good food, facilitated conversation, and meaningful connections.

Your registration fee of $20 per person not only covers the cost of your meal but also contributes toward supporting a current student by offsetting the cost of their meal.

Learn more about this initiative and register on the Alumni Engagement website.

Buffalo State's official web products are mandated to be accessible to all. To ensure ADA accessibility, university websites are designed and developed in adherence with the W3C's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 Level AA standards. Please note that web accessibility requirements extend to include all images, documents (including PDFs), videos, and applications residing on university web pages, as well as any third-party products connected to sites.

Each area with a web presence is responsible for ensuring that the content, images, documents, and videos found on their site are compliant with WCAG 2.0 Level AA standards. Marketing and Communications' web accessibility page explains how to complete an ADA check and also provides resources for closing compliance gaps, including specific guidance for PDF and Microsoft Office documents.

Marketing and Communications web staff member Dan Schmidt provides accessibility training as part of his regular Drupal training. He also runs ADA checks on all Drupal sites on a rotating basis; findings are shared with primary web contacts (PWCs) for any needed remediation.

ADA compliance is a campuswide effort, and we appreciate your diligence in helping fulfill this mandate. Please feel free to contact Melissa Meehan, web director, with questions.
