Student recognition is at the very heart of our Commencement celebration for you, our graduates. The program booklet will list the names of December 2018 and January 2019 graduates and May and August 2019 degree candidates (who apply for their degrees by the appropriate deadlines). The 147th Buffalo State Commencement ceremonies emphasize and acknowledge student achievement. The recipients of the President's Medal for Outstanding Student represent their graduating class and deliver the Student Address at their ceremonies.
