WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT An innovative curriculum includes a two-year sequence of reading and research seminars, interdisciplinary electives, and intensive foreign language training. Esteemed faculty provide our students with new frameworks and the tools to understand the transnational forces that have shaped our world. At the heart of the program is the two-year dissertation, an original scholarly work based on empirical research and analysis. Students spend the first year in New York and the second year in London, receiving degrees from both institutions. Immersed in the vibrant intellectual communities of these global cities, graduates are prepared for careers in government, journalism, think tanks, NGOs, and academia. The world is more interconnected than ever. Apply now to join leading historians and study how we arrived here.

Interested in advocating for changes in healthcare policy and health equity? Join Buffalo’s Students for a National Health Program chapter (SNaHP). As the voice of the future, it is our role to enact change and bring about reform in the current healthcare system. As evidently shown by the pandemic we are living through, the United States healthcare system is nowhere near perfect. Millions and millions of Americans are living through this pandemic without sufficient health care coverage and inadequate access to health care. SNaHP fosters an inclusive community allowing students and physicians to come together to push for change and create a strong mentor-mentee network. Students all over the nation work together to push for fundamental reform, coordinate speakers and forums, and attend numerous conferences advocating for healthcare reform. Contact Simran Gill at sgill4@gmail.com if you are interested in joining SNaHP or if you would like more information.

In partnership with UB’s Blackstone Launchpad & Techstars, the Office of Global Health Initiatives is launching a virtual challenge for teams of students to come up with a plan to assist a health department with their COVID-19 vaccination campaign. Students will be asked to develop a cohesive, well-researched and practical plan that prioritizes providing accurate information, combats misinformation and pseudoscience, and ensures equitable access to vaccines in the community.
We’re seeking innovators to develop prototypes that will assist aging New Yorkers and their caregivers in completing activities of daily living (ADLs). ADLs include taking a bath or shower, getting dressed, using the bathroom, getting up from a chair, walking across a room, or eating a meal.
Your innovation could make the difference to someone fighting to maintain independence in their home or to a stressed caregiver providing daily assistance to a loved one while maintaining a full-time job. The time to create tomorrow’s solutions is now.
Apply to compete as an individual or a team. All students both undergraduate and graduate, from all academic disciplines are encouraged to form teams and compete. Teams may have faculty members, post-docs, and/or research assistants as part of their team.
