One Region Forward (1RF) received a prestigious

to civic engagement in its regional sustainability planning process, including
the innovative Citizens Planning School and its Champions for Change program.

a special focus on Regional Regenerative Development, a place‐based
process of cultivating the ability in people, communities, and ecosystems to
renew, evolve, and thrive. 1RF, the University at Buffalo School of
Architecture and Planning and Blackstone
LaunchPad seek talented, motivated
students to join the interdisciplinary team that will deliver the next
iteration of this program and forward the innovative work of diverse community
members in regional regeneration that supports social and ecological well‐being.
This
course will be an intensive practicum and action research laboratory, where
students, faculty and community partners will learn through doing as they
contribute their skills and passion to move our region forward.

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. In 2015, he founded the startup company Circuit Clinical, which is working to transform the efficiency and experience of clinical trials. Now, patients can learn about clinical research opportunities from physicians they trust and pharmaceutical companies can be more confident that they have the right candidates. Circuit Clinical acts as an Integrated Research Organization and has the advantage of both physician and participant engagement, a network of more than 1 million patients and technology products to enhance the entire experience.

Join us at this week’s Sip and Chat for coffee, baked goods and the opportunity to learn more about UB’s #SPIRITDAY public art project hosted by the Office of Inclusive Excellence. The non-partisan public art project is based on the For Freedoms nationwide project and provides UB students with the opportunity to make their own yard sign to stand with LGBTQ+ youth against bullying. During Sip and Chat on Wednesday, October 17th from 11:30am-12:30pm, Honors Scholars can create their yard sign which will be included in a public art installation the next day outside of the Student Union.
More Ways to Get Involved:
Through a partnership with the Office of Inclusive Excellence, the Intercultural and Diversity Center, The LGBTQ Faculty and Staff Association, and LGBTQ student organizations, the University has commissioned artist, queer activist, and UB alumni Dana Tyrrell to install the public art project. The project is through For Freedoms, an artist-run platform for civic engagement, discourse, and direct action for artists in the United States.

In 2010 the first Spirt Day was recognized. Spirit Day is a means of speaking out against LGBTQ bullying and standing with LGBTQ youth, who disproportionately face bullying and harassment because of their identities. Pledging to “go purple” on Spirit Day is a way for everyone — forward-thinking companies, global leaders, respected celebrities, neighbors, parents, classmates, and friends — to visibly show solidarity with LGBTQ youth and to take part in the largest, most visible anti-bullying campaign in the world.
> Learn more about Spirit Day
On October 18 from 10am-3pm in the Student Union Lobby, students, faculty and staff will see the lawn sign installation and get to make a sign if they haven’t already. At 12pm pizza will be served and brief remarks will be shared by the artist and members of the UB community.
Spirit Day will also be recognized at UB on October 20 at the UB Volleyball vs. Central Michigan match in Alumni Arena at 6pm. The first 225 guests will get a free purple #SPIRITDAY t-shirt!
