Empower
Every day, our faculty members make progress toward solving some of society’s most complex problems. Now, we will further expand our efforts to recruit and retain exceptional researchers, scholars and teachers.
Award-Winning Faculty
Largely because of our faculty’s work, UB is universally recognized as one of the nation’s great public research universities, and a long-standing member of the prestigious Association of American Universities (AAU). While our faculty are experts in their fields, they are also teachers at heart, sharing their experience and expertise with tomorrow’s scientists and scholars each new semester.
A Powerful Vision for the Future
Through philanthropy, we will create more endowed faculty chairs to recruit and retain exceptional teachers, especially in key areas including the arts, medical science, drug discovery, environmental health, accessible urban design, entrepreneurship, public health and social development. Your support will help unlock our faculty’s full potential, as they apply their vision, determination and focus in making our world a safer, smarter, better place.
What will it take? $200 million.
A $200 million investment in our faculty will help UB attract and retain the most dynamic teachers who will guide and mentor students, conduct research that addresses society’s challenges and enrich our deepest experiences through their scholarly pursuits.
