#futurebengals

I had the pleasure of greeting and welcoming future Bengals to Buffalo State at the Spring Open House. 

This year we hosted the largest accepted-student open house in the history of our campus, with over 1,200 guests. The students seemed eager and attentive as they listened to opening comments and then dispersed throughout campus to visit with faculty and staff members.

The parents, too, seemed to relish the experience, and they noted how impressed they were with the open house. Those of us in the Campbell Student Union could feel the continued energy as students had their photos taken and acquired their first Buffalo State T-shirts.

Last week we held a special reception for accepted honors students in the LoRusso Alumni and Visitor Center. We hosted 120 guests, all eager to hear just a little more about our Honors Program. A highlight for me was the student panel, whose members discussed the community they feel here, the amazing faculty they are privileged to learn from, and the significant growth experience that has occurred for each of them. It is hard to believe that potential students could reach any other decision than to become a Bengal after hearing from the panel.
