Today is the last day faculty and professional staff may register to march in the processional at Honors Convocation, April 16. Please complete the 2026 Honors Convocation Marcher Registration to participate. Academic regalia is required.

If you have been invited to attend the Honors Convocation by a student (honoree) as their guest faculty or staff member, we ask that you sit and participate in the ceremony with your student instead of marching in the processional. Academic regalia is optional for guest faculty and staff.

Regalia rentals were available to order through the Barnes and Noble at Buffalo State Bookstore until Monday, March 30. Marchers’ regalia rental pricing and loan request information are provided in the Regalia Section of the Marchers web page. Contact Marybeth Keller, general merchandise manager, or call (716) 878-5509 for more information. If you are planning to march in Commencement, you will not be required to return the rented regalia until Friday, May 25, after Commencement. If you are not participating in Commencement rented regalia must be returned by Monday, April 27.

A limited inventory of doctoral and master’s gowns, caps, and hoods may be available for loan through the Academic Affairs Office until Friday, April 10. Please contact Cathy Cook, administrative assistant 2, for more information or to place your order.
