We're excited to welcome back one of UB's longest-standing traditions.
Oozefest started in 1984 as a way to help students de-stress before exams and bring the UB community together. Today, anyone can play at Oozefest, including students from UB and other schools, staff, faculty, alumni, and friends. It’s a great way to show your school spirit, hang out with your friends, and win trophies, gift cards, and other fun prizes.

Want to volunteer? Volunteers are a huge part of the success of Oozefest. Without volunteers, Oozefest couldn’t happen! Volunteers are needed to help with set-up, check-in, distribute pizza, snacks, and water, referee the games, keep score, break down, clean up, and just help the event run smoothly.
Volunteer registration has now closed. Thank you to all who have signed up to volunteer!
All volunteers must attend one volunteer training – dates, times, and locations are located on the volunteer registration form.
