Appointment: Interim CIO and Vice President for Enrollment, Marketing, and Communications

I have appointed James Mayrose as interim CIO and vice president for enrollment, marketing, and communications, effective August 15, 2017. In this capacity, Dr. Mayrose will provide leadership for the division of Resources for Information, Technology, and Education (RITE); the Enrollment Management unit, which includes Admissions, Financial Aid, and the Registrar’s Office; College Relations; and the Information Technology Exchange Center (ITEC).

Dr. Mayrose's experience as dean of the School of the Professions since 2015 and his role as CEO and founder of Tactus Technologies Inc. provide a strong foundation for this new assignment. His excellent scholarly record, superior teaching, and generous campuswide service will also serve the divisions under his management well and help them stay on the path of positive momentum and synergy already under way.

Dr. Mayrose joined the Buffalo State family in 1999 and since that time has held progressive academic positions, including a term as chair of the Engineering Technology Department from 2012 to 2015. In 2009, he was honored with the Buffalo State College President’s Award for Excellence in Teaching, and in 2015 he received the SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Teaching.

An accomplished entrepreneur, Dr. Mayrose was named “Inventor of the Year” by the Niagara Frontier Intellectual Property Law Association and the Technical Societies Council of the Niagara Frontier in 2004. In 2014, he received the Tibbetts Award for Innovation from the U.S. Small Business Administration.

Dr. Mayrose earned his Ph.D in mechanical engineering (2000), his M.S. in mechanical engineering (1993), and his B.S. in aerospace engineering (1989) from the University at Buffalo, where he served in various research capacities from 1991 to 2006.

I expect to begin a search for a permanent CIO and vice president for enrollment, marketing, and communications in October 2017.

Please join me in welcoming Dr. Mayrose to his new position.
