UB Believers
A stronger UB will mean a better Western New York economy and improved quality of life for its residents. A better WNY is good for the whole state. To get there, we must all work together. UB Believers is a new, broad-based advocacy group dedicated to raising awareness of UB's impact among elected officials and policy makers.
The group is comprised of supporters from all walks of life who recognize what UB means to Buffalo Niagara and who want to help realize its potential. Members receive regular updates on university activities and related legislative issues and are called upon to speak out and educate others about the university's impact on WNY. In order to be heard all the way to Albany, we need to add every voice we can. Become a UB Believer today and help create a better future for all of us.
