Buffalo State's 2026 Re-Application for Classification
The Community Partnerships Council, with leadership from the CCE, is completing a self-study and re-application for the 2026 cycle of the Carnegie Elective Classification for Community Engagement. Buffalo State was awarded classification in 2015, and our renewal process is an exciting opportunity to complete a self-study of our efforts and impacts.
This page will be utilized throughout the re-application process to share information and resources with our campus and community.
