Faculty town halls are regular opportunities for UB faculty to learn from and share their feedback with UB’s IT professionals.
During April 2018, UBIT hosted two town hall events at UB, open to all faculty and researchers.

These town hall-style events are part of a broader effort to give faculty a voice in defining the role and vision of technology in research and instruction at the University at Buffalo. UBIT hopes that faculty can attend future events and lend their voice to the effort to bring better faculty-friendly technology services to UB.
