October is Careers in Student Affairs Month, and the Higher Education Administration Department is hosting a series of events, virtual and in person, to help students explore a career in student affairs and the graduate pathway at Buffalo State. Events include sitting in on a HESAA graduate course, information sessions, and podcasts. See all the options via our website. 

If you work with students or have advised students who seem energized by their involvement and leadership on campus, please consider sharing this information with them. Many students do not make the connection between their co-curricular experiences and a pathway to a career in higher education. They may just need someone to help them see that connection and possibility at Buffalo State!

The Undergraduate Research Small Grants Program provides up to $400 to assist undergraduate students in carrying out a research, scholarly, or creative activity during the academic year (up to $600 may be requested for a single project that involves two or more students). Funding is intended to help defray the cost of supplies and other materials necessary to conduct the project. Award recipients will be required to participate in the 25th annual Buffalo State Student Research and Creativity Conference on May 3, 2024. The fall semester application deadline for submission of the student portion is Wednesday, October 18; required faculty mentor approval is due by Friday, October 20. For more details and the online application portal, please visit the Small Grants Program webpage on the Undergraduate Research website.

The campus community and their family members are invited to register to receive an email series titled “It’s Move Time,” an initiative from the New York State Employee Assistance Program (EAP) encouraging recipients to practice a simple movement during their workday. Three emails will be sent each week at random times between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. The email will be a reminder to engage in some type of movement. For example: "[Your Name], It’s Move Time: Set a timer for three minutes and do whatever movement feels good."

Recipients may unsubscribe at any time.

Buffalo State's Kissflow license will expire Wednesday, November 29, and will not be renewed. Kissflow is an automated workflow application. Please email David Marcinkowski, project manager in Information Technology Services, with concerns or questions.
