“I vowed to pursue higher education despite all the roadblocks.
Buffalo State has been the best choice I ever made. The people I’ve met and the lessons I’ve learned are unforgettable. I always think of this school as the place that gave me a second chance. My Buffalo State experience has taught me to be a leader, and I am always inspired when I am here.”
"Having the planetarium, research labs, rock-processing lab, and departmental offices in one centralized location provides so much for students. I have the knowledge I can use for graduate school; I feel prepared.
I realized I wanted to go to college, not only for a bachelor’s degree, but also a master’s and possibly a Ph.D., so that I could do something positive for the world.”
“After I got to campus and learned more about the program, I decided to follow my dream and choose the FTT major, along with a minor in fiber arts. I started in fashion merchandising and then took a sewing class and fell in love with design. Sewing is like my therapy. When I get to put everything together for a piece, I come alive.”
Buffalo State is a really diverse campus. Find where you fit in. Take risks and make bold moves. Get outside your comfort zone and meet people because people are really nice if you give them a chance.”
