Golden
Connections

Events for UB graduates of 50 or more years ago

The Golden Connections Series brings together alumni who graduated 50 or more years ago, celebrating a lifetime of experiences, friendships and the enduring bond you share with UB. It’s a chance to reconnect, meet fellow alumni and stay engaged with a university that has grown and evolved right alongside you.

Through thoughtfully designed programs and special opportunities to see what’s happening on campus today, Golden Connections offers a meaningful way to stay involved and keep your True Blue spirit going strong.

This year, we’re proud to welcome the Class of 1976 into Golden Connections. Nearly 3,500 strong and spread across the globe, this class is a reminder that no matter where life has taken you, there’s always a fellow UB graduate not far away...and always a place for you here.

Have you thought about an ultimate gift to UB?

Many alumni choose to support UB in a lasting way through planned gifts such as bequests, beneficiary designations or life-income arrangements. These options can help you make a meaningful impact while also aligning with your personal and financial goals.

If you’re considering a future gift, our Office of Planned Giving is here to help you explore what makes the most sense for you. And it’s one more way to ensure UB continues to thrive for generations to come.

To learn more, please contact Wendy Irving, Esq., associate vice president for planned giving at 1-877-825-3422 or dev-pg@buffalo.edu.
