Internal communication vehicles—the Daily Bulletin and campuswide e-mail—are designed primarily for college faculty and staff members. Friends of the college may also subscribe to the Daily Bulletin.
The Daily Bulletin is Buffalo State’s electronic newsletter containing official announcements, news, curricular items, faculty and staff achievements, and other information of importance to the campus community. Messages are created by faculty and staff for faculty and staff. Providing a centralized source for campus information, the Daily Bulletin is distributed via the campus Listserv at 7:00 a.m. Monday through Friday, excluding holidays and breaks. Items must be submitted by 3:00 p.m. for publication the next business day.
The following items are not appropriate for inclusion in the Daily Bulletin:

Buffalo State generally does not allow mass e-mailing to faculty and staff. The e-mail distribution list for faculty and staff is not available for general use. It is used by the president, provost, and vice presidents or their designees to convey critical information to the campus, such as news about the campus network or infrastructure, or the deaths of colleagues and emeriti. The Marketing and Communications Office works with the President’s Office and vice presidents and their staffs in determining e-mail communication. The Daily Bulletin is the primary vehicle for general communication to faculty and staff.
The Marketing and Communications Office sends official notices, called “In Memoriam,” via the Daily Bulletin upon learning of the deaths of retired faculty or staff members. These brief notices are sent only when the Marketing and Communications Office receives word in a timely* fashion that a retiree** has passed away. Campuswide e-mail may be used to inform faculty and staff of the passing of a current employee. Notices are not generally sent for relatives of employees, employees who resigned from the college, or alumni.
* within three months of the death or memorial service
** official retirement from the college, whether by choice or by reason of disability
