From the Desk of the Vice President

Wishing You a Happy, Healthy and Peaceful 2022.

The Countdown Has Begun

E-CONNECT: May 1, 2025

Dear Student Life Colleagues,

The month of May and the end of each academic year always serves as a powerful reminder of the impactful work being accomplished here in the division. As we celebrate the achievements of our graduating students during commencement season, our staff in Student Life is also busy preparing for the various planned celebrations and events scheduled over the next few weeks. I would encourage each of you to consider supporting these annual events and celebrations in recognition of the many accomplishments of our students here at UB.

Finally, thanks again to all those who contributed to our highly successful UB Giving Day on April 9. The division reached several goals, including placing third in President Tripathi’s Participation Challenge. These results serve as an excellent example of the division's leadership and annual support during this major university initiative.

In closing, thanks again for your many contributions to our success. Let's finish the semester strong in celebration of another outstanding year.

Sincerely,

Brian F. Hamluk
Vice President for Student Life
