PhD Welcome

Congratulations on your acceptance to the University at Buffalo School of Management's PhD program.

While we receive many applications to our competitive program, we offer admision only to those most highly qualified. You should be very proud of your accomplishments so far.

By pursuing your PhD, you have demonstrated your desire to become a scholar. Your acceptance into our PhD program is the beginning of an exciting journey. For most, it will be a difficult journey, but also a very rewarding one that enables you to grow personally and intellectually.

Please take advantage of all the resources available to you, particularly your faculty. In addition, I encourage you to contact me and others in the Graduate Programs Office when you need assistance. We are here to make your journey a little easier and a little more enjoyable.

I look forward to meeting you at PhD orientation in August.

Sincerely,

Julie LoTempio
Associate Director of Graduate Programs
