EOC MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of the University at Buffalo Educational Opportunity Center is to produce lifelong learners who are self-directed, empowered, and committed to excellence.  Residents of the surrounding Buffalo community are provided a range of services designed to develop the academic and vocational skills that are necessary to become self-sufficient. Programs and services are structured to adapt to the needs of our students, as well as to the demands of our community and serve as first steps toward the attainment of long-term educational and employment goals.

VALUE STATEMENT

The faculty, staff, and community partners of the University at Buffalo EOC believe that our students entrust us with providing learning experiences that will enhance their life-long success.  As we emerge into the 21st century, we are dedicated to fulfilling that trust by providing an educational environment that addresses the needs of an increasingly diverse student population.  In pursuit of that environment, we are committed to fostering personal growth, intellectual development and economic independence.
