We’re proud of all that Loyal Blues accomplished. Your gifts created opportunities for our students to do, see and learn things beyond their wildest dreams. It’s how they saw the world, exchanged ideas, inspired action and took the lead.

Here are just a few of the ways your gifts came together to make life better here in Buffalo and around the globe:

Every year, 100 percent of the UB Fund is used to enhance the student experience. That’s why giving annually is so important. We couldn’t do it without you. Thank you.
