Commencements are joyous occasions in the life of a university. They give us an opportunity to honor the successes of our graduates, give thanks to the family and friends who have supported them, and celebrate the spirit of intellectual inquiry that drives everything we do on this campus. They are my favorite days of the academic year—and I am honored this year to celebrate my first commencement at Buffalo State.

Graduates, you have proved to yourselves and to those around you that you have great reservoirs of talent, intellectual power, and determination. Though you will leave Buffalo State today to conquer new challenges and embrace new opportunities, I do hope you will never truly leave. Remember your alma mater, and return often to share your triumphs with us. You are the heart and soul of Buffalo State. We couldn’t be prouder of all you have accomplished and all you will accomplish in the future. You will always be welcome here.

Congratulations to Buffalo State’s Class of 2011!

Sincerely,

Aaron Podolefsky, Ph.D. President
