Together, we are stopping the spread.
The COVID-19 pandemic impacts everyone. Do your part to foster a healthy and safe campus environment for all by following these important guidelines.
Be a UB Community Advocate
Many UB employees are feeling a little uncomfortable about returning to campus. Our co-workers and peers can provide great relief at times like this. Can you help spread UB’s COVID-19 safety messages and lower risk? If so, consider volunteering to be a UB Community Advocate.
UB Community Advocates will serve as important visible representatives of the university to assist and answer questions related to UB's COVID-19 health and safety practices.
UB Community Advocates will help us by:
- Serving as a source of information to promote the university’s expectations for reopening during COVID-19
- Encouraging face mask/covering usage
- Encouraging physical distancing
- Distributing COVID-19 packets that include masks, gloves and hand sanitizer upon request
UB Community Advocates will be invited to participate in a training to learn about the program and their responsibilities.
Employees interested in becoming an advocate should send an email to wellness@buffalo.edu.
