Many thanks to all our generous donors to Buffalo State’s 2024 SEFA/United Way Campaign. As we are already enjoying a high rate of pledges and roll-overs, we would like to continue the impetus by extending the deadline to Thursday, December 12. We are so inspired by the stories of giving that have been offered by our many faculty and staff that we would like time to give each and every one a spot in the Daily Bulletin.
