The Daily Bulletin

I am writing to share some important news regarding the organizational changes taking place within the Academic Affairs Office. As your newly appointed interim provost and vice president for academic affairs, I am thrilled to lead this interim period to support the faculty and academic staff, and work collectively toward providing the best possible education and services to our students.

Effective immediately, we will be implementing the following changes:

1. Julian Cole, our interim associate dean of the School of Arts and Sciences, will take on the responsibility of leading local, SUNY, and NYSED actions, as well as overseeing the catalog. Dr. Cole's expertise and dedication will ensure a smooth continuation of these crucial tasks.
2. Joining our team as a special advisor is Scott Goodman, professor and chair of the Chemistry Department. Dr. Goodman brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table, and his focus will be on addressing emerging needs, ensuring financial sustainability, and fostering workforce development. His presence will undoubtedly contribute to the growth and success of our academic community.

As we move forward, it is important to note that this is just the beginning of our efforts to enhance the Academic Affairs division. In the coming weeks, we will be conducting a thorough review to identify potential additional changes that will further strengthen our institution.

I want to reassure all our faculty, staff, and students that throughout this transition, our commitment to providing quality service remains unwavering. We understand the importance of maintaining a seamless academic experience, and we will work tirelessly to ensure that your needs are met.

Thank you for your continued support and dedication to Buffalo State University. Together, we will create an even brighter future for our students.
