The Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS) promotes and administers comprehensive, recovery-oriented services in the areas of mental health treatment and substance abuse prevention and treatment throughout Connecticut. While the Department`s prevention services serve all Connecticut citizens, its mandate is to serve adults (over 18 years of age) with psychiatric or substance use disorders, or both, who lack the financial means to obtain such services on their own. DMHAS also provides collaborative programs for individuals with special needs, such as persons with HIV/AIDS infection, people in the criminal justice system, those with problem gambling disorders, substance abusing pregnant women, persons with traumatic brain injury or hearing impairment, those with co-occurring substance abuse and mental illness, and special populations transitioning out of the Department of Children and Families. DMHAS operates on the belief that most people with mental illnesses and/or substance use disorders can and should be treated in community settings, and that inpatient treatment should be used only when absolutely necessary to meet the best interests of the patient. Effective care requires that services such as residential, supportive, rehabilitative and crisis intervention programs are available within their local communities. DMHAS is responsible for providing a wide range of services to adults in each of the five human service regions in Connecticut.
The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture encourages, protects and promotes agriculture and related industries throughout the commonwealth while providing consumer protection through inspection services that impact the health and financial security of Pennsylvania`s citizens.

With $6.8 billion in cash receipts annually from production agriculture, Pennsylvania farmers and agribusinesses are the leading economic driver in our state. In addition to production agriculture, the industry also raises revenue and supplies jobs through support services such as food processing, marketing, transportation, and farm equipment. In total, production agriculture and agribusiness contributes nearly $68 billion to Pennsylvania’s economy.

Student Association is the undergraduate student government at the University at Buffalo, State University of New York. SA is coincidentally the largest student government in the SUNY system. Our Student Association is unique in that we are a pseudo-autonomous student government. We, the students, run our student government under the guidelines of our constitution, overseen by the SA Student Assembly and SA Senate. We are funded by the Mandatory Student Activity Fee, which students vote to continue, in a bi-annual referendum. The use of funds must follow SUNY Mandatory Student Activity Fee Guidelines and the allocation of funds is determined by the SA Senate. Services provided by the Student Association are for the students, by the student. The goal of the Student Association is to provide a better university experience of all undergraduate students by representing students to university administrators and advocate for their needs while providing an enjoyable and rewarding experience through limitless services, opportunities, events and club organizations.
