Dear Colleagues:
Another successful commencement season is behind us, and we now have the opportunity to pause, reflect, and enjoy some well-earned time away after an exceptional academic year. Commencement once again served as a powerful reminder of the impact of our efforts. I have included several photos from this year’s celebrations that capture many of those moments. Looking through them, I am reminded how fortunate we are to play a role in the memories our students and families will carry with them long after they leave UB.
I look forward to seeing many of you at our Student Life Professional Development Day on Thursday, June 25. Information and registration is now available below. I appreciate the thoughtful work the committee has put into planning what promises to be another engaging and meaningful day together.
Thank you again for another remarkable year and for all that you do for our students.
Sincerely
Brian F. Hamluk
Vice President for Student Life
