Call for Volunteers: Connection Calls

Volunteers are needed for a new retention initiative called "Connection Calls." We know that the future of our Buffalo State Bengal community is at risk and unknown. While our students are not here right now, there is something we can intentionally do to reassure them we are here to support them—we can simply connect. Our community is good at meeting students “where they are.” Let’s reach out and reconnect with them.

Please help your Bengal community by volunteering to participate in Connection Calls, which will consist of asking students three questions. We will simply take our list of all students who are currently enrolled and divide that list by the number of volunteers we receive. The more volunteers we get, the smaller the call lists will be. The calls you volunteer to make will guarantee that every student of ours is reached.

If you are willing to serve, please complete this Qualtrics survey, and we will be in touch with you shortly.

Thank you for your commitment to our Buffalo State Bengal community!

“If we are successful in retention during this unprecedented time, it will be because of the relationships that were already developed.”
