Dear Colleagues,

The start of a new semester is always an exciting time at UB, and this year was no exception. I want to extend my sincere thanks to everyone who helped welcome our new and returning students to UB. From the energy across our campuses to the enthusiasm at the inaugural Convocation and Human Interlocking UB class photo, it was wonderful to see our students connecting, exploring and beginning the semester with a true sense of belonging.

Despite the weather challenges, I was encouraged to see that Student Life was able to create impactful experiences for our students over the course of the weekend. Creating these experiences takes an incredible amount of teamwork. From planning and coordinating programs to volunteering, providing support and working behind the scenes, each of you played an important role in making Opening Week a success. Your dedication and commitment helped create the kind of welcoming environment that makes UB feel like home from day one.

Thank you again for all that you do to make UB a vibrant, welcoming and memorable place for our students. I am grateful for your continued dedication and excited for all that we will accomplish together this semester.

Sincerely

Brian F. Hamluk
Vice President for Student Life

The Student Life Employee Engagement Committee would like to hear from you!
