Mann joined the university in 1953 as the director of the Exceptional Children Education Division. Under his leadership, the undergraduate and graduate programs in exceptional education at Buffalo State rose to prominence and became among the largest in the United States. Before he retired in 1992, Mann had helped to educate more than 7,000 exceptional education teachers. For the rest of his life, he maintained a close relationship with Buffalo State, with an office on campus and extensive service to the university. He made two $1 million planned gifts to Buffalo State, in September 2001 and September 2002. Those gifts, in addition to many other instances of his generosity, make him Buffalo State’s largest donor. Buffalo State commemorated Mann's life with a celebration program and reception on February 11 in the Performing Arts Center at Rockwell Hall. 6 B U F FA L O S TAT E C O L L E G E
