Professor Drew Kahn has more than 31 years of collaboration and successfully introduced over 150 Buffalo State students to Rwanda for study-abroad through the The Anne Frank Project , a program designed to build community, manage conflict, and explore identity by sharing stories stifled by oppression. In April, his work earned him an invitation to speak at an international United Nations conference commemorating the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi in Rwanda.

International Student Spotlight:

Mounika Goruganthu, a graduate student who earned her master of science in data science and analytics, has been awarded the 2024 SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Student Excellence, the highest student honor bestowed by the State University of New York. The Chancellor’s Award recognizes students who have integrated academic excellence with distinguished achievement in areas such as community service, campus involvement, creative and performing arts, athletics, entrepreneurship, leadership, and career achievement.

She has been a staple in the Buffalo State community, pioneering a variety of initiatives to better the data management and usage on campus in a more equitable and transparent manner. We are so grateful for her work, especially with the assistance she has provided to the Maureen Callahan Bouras Center for Global Engagement for streamlining our survey data analysis.

The Chancellor’s Awards for Student Excellence were officially awarded by SUNY during a ceremony on April 11 at the Albany Capital Center in Albany, New York. Mounika will again be recognized during the university’s 152nd Commencement ceremonies on Saturday, May 18, in the campus Sports Arena.

Congratulations Mounika on all of your accomplishments!
