In 2021, Buffalo State will reach its 150th year of existence as an educational institution. The planning committee is charged with developing and coordinating activities in the coming years that will culminate with our Sesquicentennial Celebration in 2021. One hundred fifty years is an extraordinary achievement that will be marked by a proper celebration. As we look back over the years of teaching, scholarly and creative activities, and service to this community and beyond, we can be tremendously proud of our legacy and our contributions to our students, the city, and the region. I look forward to celebrating with the entire Buffalo State community in 2021!
