From the Desk of the Vice President

Dear Student Life Colleagues,

With the first day of spring classes behind us, our campus is once again filled with the energy of students returning to routine and activities. Over the past week or so, we’ve hosted a variety of welcome-back events to kick off the spring semester and build momentum for the months ahead. 

Below are a few photo highlights from the last few weeks, including first day of class photos, our newest iDEAL Academy graduates and an exciting new installation in the Student Union, as environmental updates continue to take shape.

With the semester underway, let us stay focused on what we do best, providing our students with an outstanding UB experience. I look forward to connecting with you and sharing divisional updates at our Student Life Quarterly Forum on Wednesday, February 4. See you then.

Sincerely,

Brian F. Hamluk
Vice President for Student Life

In early January, Student Life hosted iDEAL Academy training for supervisors. The Academy represents an investment in supervisors across the division, with the goals of supporting/developing supervisors’ skillsets, while cultivating divisional values. Congratulations to our most recent iDEAL Academy graduates!

Students didn’t let the snow and cold get in their way of starting the semester strong.  Below are some highlights of the first day of class, along with a new larger  than life installation in the Student Union Lobby.
