From the Vice President for Student Affairs
Posted: Tuesday, April 19, 2016Appointment: Director of New Student and Family Programs
I am pleased to announce the appointment of David Cox as director of new student and family programs at Buffalo State College, following a national search. His term begins May 17, 2016.
Cox comes to Buffalo State from Bethune Cookman University, where since 2012 he has served as director of the Office of Orientation and Transition Programs. At Bethune Cookman, he was responsible for working collaboratively with a broad range of campus constituencies in developing, planning, implementing, and assessing all new undergraduate student orientation programs. Bethune Cookman relied on Cox to work on freshman transition programs, develop resources to support families, and implement parent and family programs for a growing population of first-generation college students and families. Additionally, Cox supervised a diverse staff of undergraduate and graduate employees, interns, and volunteers.
Before joining Bethune Cookman, Cox held positions as associate dean of academic affairs and instructor of psychology at Keiser University (2010–2012), where he collaborated across the institution to develop student academic support services, provided academic advising, and assisted in the hiring of faculty. Before his work at Keiser University, he taught middle school and high school from 2006 through 2010.
Cox earned his master of arts in counseling from Webster University and bachelor of science in technology education from SUNY Oswego.
