Please join us for a digital farewell on Monday, June 22, between 3:30 and 4:15 p.m. through Zoom. Please sign up to be added to the Zoom invitation list.

Ms. Glogowski's service to the college spans over 45 exceptional years. She started her career in 1975 in Butler Library as a science reference librarian and has spent many years giving her time, talent, and support to the college.

Within the Information Technology division, Ms. Glogowski has served as associate vice president for operations management, associate vice president for information services and systems, and associate vice president for library and instructional technology. Under Academic Affairs, she served as assistant vice president for library and instructional technology, library director, and director of instructional technology. Before her appointment as library director, she attained the rank of full librarian.

Ms. Glogowski has secured many grants, presented at numerous conferences, and published three books and 10 journal articles in the field of information science. Her leadership in the library brought about the college’s first website. She served as chair of the SUNY Council of Library Directors, was an officer on the board of Nylink, served as a delegate for the OCLC Members Council, and chaired the Western New York Library Resources Council board of directors. She was active in the ACE National Network for Women Leaders in Higher Education, where she served on the board for seven years, two of them as state coordinator.

She is also a staunch supporter of many community organizations, currently serving on the board of Project Flight and enjoying the Burchfield Penney Art Center as a loyal patron.

In her role as special assistant to the CIO, Ms. Glogowski has spent countless hours training staff, sharing her institutional knowledge, and supporting the CIO and VP division. We are indebted to her for her service and her love of Buffalo State.

As she makes her transition from the college, please direct any questions to Katie Malik-Willard, executive assistant to the CIO and vice president for enrollment, marketing, and communications. And please join us on June 22.
