    I enjoy the diversity of the population and my interactions with faculty, students, staff, and visitors on a daily basis.  I was hired 13 years ago and have made many long-lasting friendships with members of the UB community.  I have been a part of many great events on campus, from speakers and concerts to sporting events.  UB is a great place to work!!

  • Quote 1

    We command all the resources of a flagship university. We are also the only major American research university on an international border.  What's more, we live in and laugh at a notoriously lively climate, while the rest of the country stands in amazement and uses our weather as a backdrop for their evening news! Buffalo teaches us to enjoy what we have and not to be afraid to change carefully laid plans.  We are rarely bored, and that's what I love about UB.
