Buffalo, NY – Aaron Podolefsky is the choice of a selection committee to become the new president of Buffalo State College. He was one of three finalists for the school's top post.
SUNY Chancellor Nancy Zimpher will recommend Podolefsky's appointment at next week's meeting of the SUNY Board of Trustees. If approved, he would assume his new role on July.
The 63-year-old Podolefsky is currently president of the University of Central Missouri.
Zimpher says Podolefsky will be a tremendous asset to the college, Western New York and the SUNY system.
"Dr. Podolefsky has led the University of Central Missouri with great distinction as the campus reached record-setting levels of academic quality and job placement and is now experiencing the highest graduation rate in its history," said Zimpher.
