The Daily Bulletin

Please join the campus community and our many off-campus communities as we present Buffalo State’s annual social justice festival AFP 2022:  Healing through Stories, today, October 12, through Friday, October 14, in the Campbell Student Union Social Hall. This is an excellent opportunity to welcome our students back from their fall break with three days of social justice engagement. 

Festival attendees will personally and kinesthetically engage with leaders, activists, educators, authors, and artists from multiple disciplines as they reflect on this year’s theme, “Healing through Stories.” AFP 2022 provides a free, on-campus, and diverse social justice common experience for instructors to assign to students who can then return to class to further analyze and examine the material in discipline-specific assignments. 

Now in its 14th year, AFP continues to provide a unique platform for Buffalo State students, faculty, and staff to extend the learning of our world’s most pressing needs and concerns. As the nation’s college campuses struggle to create hands-on social justice programming, we are proud to all “co-own” this important academic ritual at Buffalo State. Thank you for continuing to make AFP’s social justice festivals part of your teaching routines. We look forward to seeing you at AFP 2022!
