University at Buffalo (UB)
Where students with enormous potential achieve exceptional success.
Cultivating a shared commitment to social justice.
The Daniel Acker Scholars Program offers opportunities for engagement and connection with non-profit organizations and agencies in our Western New York community.
Our program will send opportunties via UB email to all Acker Scholars about ways of learning about our communities, especially off campus in the city of Buffalo.
