How we reported this
Jacoby Loury, a faculty member at the University at Buffalo Graduate School of Education, has been chosen for the 2026-28 cohort of an emerging scholars program focused on professional school counseling.
This selection arrives as Buffalo educators continue to seek ways to strengthen support services in area schools amid shifting demands on counseling staff. The timing aligns with summer planning cycles when districts often review professional development options for the coming academic year.
The Graduate School of Education sits at the center of several Buffalo initiatives, including efforts to improve pathways for aspiring teachers and librarians who serve Western New York communities. Recent items posted on the school’s news page detail work that touches local high schools, public libraries and rural districts in the region.
Key developments listed on the school site
The school’s news updates include a partnership with SUNY New Paltz aimed at creating a flexible online doctoral route for educators already working in New York classrooms. Another item notes state funding awarded to an accelerated certification cohort at UB intended to lower entry barriers for new teachers. Additional announcements cover a family-based treatment approach developed at the university that targets long-term health outcomes for children, plus a library scholars program run with Brooklyn Public Library that supports students completing degrees at UB.
Further entries record a student opinion piece on civic education timing, a music video appearance by a recent mental health counseling graduate, and recognition for an alum named New York’s Public Librarian of the Year. An initiative to help rural Western New York high school students complete financial aid forms also appears among the posted items. The school site presents these developments without accompanying numerical data on participation rates or outcomes.
