UB Forward - 8/28/2020

A group of faculty and staff advocates is preparing to serve as a positive source of information and influence as the campus community adapts to the new normal of UB’s Health and Safety Guidelines.

UB’s custodial staff is on the job around the clock to keep the buildings on UB’s three campuses as clean and safe as possible.

As the fall semester kicks off, A. Scott Weber provides a short summary of key reminders.
