Loyal
Blue Day
is a celebration of UB alumni and friends that make gifts to support students.
The goal is to thank donors and teach students about the ways philanthropy enriches
their education through scholarships, experiential learning, technology,
facility upgrades, etc. Student volunteers are needed for the Loyal Blue Day
stations at the Student Union on North Campus and Harriman Hall on South Campus
from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.
All
volunteers will receive a free t-shirt for their 2-hour shift. Volunteers will
simply be asked to recruit students to the Loyal Blue Day table to write thank
you notes to donors. It’s very simple, and it will be a fun atmosphere with
games, prizes and food.

Two identical workshops will be offered on study skills and exam taking skills just in time for final exams. The sessions will take place on December 5 at 6pm in Bonner 414 and on December 7 at 4pm in Davis 101. Students will learn how to retain more information and how to prepare themselves so that they can do their best on finals. It’s all free and no pre-registration is required. All the students have to do is arrive on time and listen. I started using these tips in my last two years of undergrad school and never went below a 3.0 again.
UB’s Blackstone LaunchPad powered by Techstars will host Dr. Irfan Khan, MD turned entrepreneur for a How I Built This – an authentic and raw interview of an entrepreneur by a student entrepreneur on Wed., December 5th at 6:30 p.m. in 210 student Union, UB’s North Campus.
Irfan Khan is an MD turned entrepreneur – and he’s innovating in the healthcare industry.
