CAPTURING THE MOMENT<br />
Commencement is an important day and one that our graduates will long remember. As a courtesy,<br />
a professional photographer will capture each graduate’s special moment during the ceremony.<br />
Complimentary proofs will be sent to each graduate’s e-mail address following Commencement.<br />
You are also invited to use the Commencement Garden, in front of the Sports Arena, as a photo<br />
backdrop. The 139th Commencement video order forms are available in the Alumni Association<br />
tent in front of the Sports Arena and online at www.buffalostate.edu/commencement/x550.xml.<br />
