The event is noon on May 4 and is called the Buffalo Urban Futures Forum, and at the moment we are expecting speakers / panelists from 43North, D’Youville College, and the Colored Musicians Club (potentially some others as well).

As you may know, every April UB recognizes Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) as a time to raise public awareness about sexual violence, to educate and inspire our community to prevent it, and provide support for members of our community who have experienced it. We are continuing last year’s online efforts so that we can continue to come together as a community, from a safe social distance.
Please visit our Sexual Violence Prevention and Response page to view upcoming workshops, programs and events, and share it with your students. We would like to highlight our upcoming event The Men’s Story Project (MSP). The MSP takes place 4:00-6:00 PM on Thursday 4/15/21. In the MSP, men, boys, and folks who identify in any way with masculinity publicly share personal stories that help transform social ideas about masculinity – so as to support health and equality for all people. This event will be held via Zoom and is free for everyone, though registration is required. We also wanted to let our community know we continue to fulfill program requests on healthy relationships and violence prevention for classes and groups in our campus community.
Additionally, I’d like to assure you that our sexual violence response services are still fully supported. Students, faculty, and staff can continue to confidentially connect with our UB-dedicated Advocate from Crisis Services by calling or texting 716-796-4399, or emailing campusadv1@crisisservices.org. You can also click the following hyperlinks for more information on sexual violence prevention, response, and policies.
Follow our Facebook pages @theUBAlliance and @UBMensGroup for additional watch parties, chats, coloring pages, and more that will be posted throughout the month!
There is a major construction project happening this summer/fall on South. Many of the established plants outside of Foster, facing Harriman Quad, will be disturbed as a result. The project’s landscape architect has suggested that it is possible to save many of these plants, if we transplant them now—while they are still dormant.
15-20 volunteers are needed April 16, 2021 at 11:00 am. Please wear clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty or wet. There will be pizza for all volunteers!
This would be a rain or shine event, and it’s a great way to ensure that these beautiful plants do not sustain damage during a future construction project!
