From the President
Posted: Wednesday, June 17, 2020Caring Bengal Award Recipient: Sandra Washington-Copeland
I am pleased to announce that Sandra Washington-Copeland, adviser and instructor in the School of Education's Teacher Diversity Pipeline program, has received the President's Caring Bengal Award.
Dr. Washington-Copeland was nominated for the award by Shelly Inniss-Jackson, adviser for the Educational Opportunity Program, and students in the Teacher Diversity Pipeline program, including Marc D. Adams, Leslie Lawrence, Deliris Rodriguez, Naeemah Wilson Simmons, and Phi Phyoe Thu. I am so pleased to recognize Dr. Washington-Copeland, and I encourage the entire campus community to join me in thanking her for her exceptional effort to make Buffalo State a great place to live, learn, and work. Her award profile can be viewed on the Professional Development website.
I announced the creation and implementation of the President's Caring Bengal Award in December 2017 to recognize supportive colleagues in our Buffalo State community who not only transform the lives of our students but also help create a caring and collegial environment for our faculty, staff, and administrators.
Nominations for the Caring Bengal Award will not be collected until September 2020. For more information about the award criteria and recipient selection process, or to submit a nomination, please visit the Professional Development website.
