Retirement of Kelly Marczynski; Staffing Update

Kelly Marczynski has retired from her position as director of the Institute for Community Health Promotion (ICHP) after almost 30 years of service to the Buffalo State University community. Her last day on campus was Friday, November 15. Dr. Marczynski served as an epidemiologist and research scientist who oversaw numerous projects that positively influenced health and social behavior in and around Buffalo and across New York State. We thank Dr. Marczynski for her service and wish her well in this new phase of her life.

Staffing Updates
Following Dr. Marczynski’s retirement, ICHP and the two units composing it, the Center for Health and Social Research (CHSR) and Learning Engagement and Development Services (LEADS), are being reorganized. The two remaining CHSR employees, Jonathan Lindner and Alan Delmerico, will relocate to other campus units. Dr. Lindner has elected to move to a new position in the Weigel Health Center, where he will serve as director of health promotion and wellness. There he will expand on his previous work with Buffalo State students on broad issues of health and wellness. Dr. Delmerico will move to Continuing Professional Studies, where he will continue his grant-funded community health work and assume oversight of the grant-funded LEADS unit. These changes result in the discontinuance of the ICHP and CHSR units.
