Oozefest started in 1984 as a way to help students de-stress before exams and bring the UB community together. What started with 16 teams has grown over the years and now features more than 1,000 participants that include students, alumni and staff. Oozefest remains one of UB's most popular traditions, topping many students' "UB bucket list." See more photos from Oozefest Photos: Meredith Forrest Kulwicki
