Framing UB
Lessons from Framing UB
A look at UB through fresh eyes
Nearly a thousand photographs by almost 200 photographers have been submitted – and the results continue to be remarkable. We wanted to find a way for all the people who come to UB every day to show us how these places look through your eyes. So we asked you to take pictures. We invited students, staff, faculty, alumni, and neighbors all to capture images of the good, the bad, the beautiful and the ugly. We received all of that and more and we learned a lot. | Key Learnings

Keep taking pictures
The dialogue is continuing. Many other issues remain to be explored both in words and pictures. Framing UB is one of your opportunities to contribute to the planning process. Keep taking pictures. Keep sending them in.
We need more of your best thinking to make a great plan. Our goal is to create places that members of the university community will truly love. Show us how – in photographs.
We want to create campuses that are “seamlessly connected” to each other and to our host communities. What does that look like?
UB needs to become more of a “vital intellectual community.” Give us the image that will show us the way.
Every picture tells a story. But every story really tells a story. Tell us yours.
