Far Beyond Business as Usual

As one of the world's best business schools, the UB School of Management is continually on the rise. Now, with your support, we will aim higher still: a transformation of business education and the very future of management. How? By advancing thought leadership. By providing student experiences that develop leadership to the fullest. By leading through example. At UB, we’re not just teaching business innovation. We’re driving it.

Here Is How We Create Graduates Prepared to Lead Anywhere

Here, we build connections across cultures and prepare our graduates for success in today’s ever-changing global marketplace. With your investment, we’ll:

Endow award-winning programs like LeaderCORE™, which builds MBA students’ abilities to solve problems, motivate, communicate and collaborate, and expand it to other Schools and degree program across the University
Foster international exchange by expanding our Center for Global Programs, boosting study-abroad opportunities and preparing our international students to return home as leaders
Allow more students to build programs with sustainable impact
Substantially increase undergraduate and graduate scholarships
Provide a new campus learning environment, including creating a Living and Learning space for our students to form cohorts and fuel innovation
Develop curriculum and programming that will prepare our students to launch successful entrepreneurial ventures

Here Is How We Help Organizations Work Smarter

Our faculty engage business and industry directly, from working with health care organizations to redefining accounting practices and standards. Philanthropy will allow us to bring more faculty thought leaders to UB and Buffalo with the addition of new endowed chair and professor positions. Your investment also will enable a dramatic expansion of interdisciplinary research and collaborations, such as our pioneering Stephen Still Institute for Sustainable Transportation and Logistics. Here, we put our ingenuity to the ultimate test: We put it to work.

Our students serve as interns and volunteer business consultants. Our faculty consult and collaborate with businesses and industries. Now, with your investment we will expand and strengthen those collaborations by endowing these dynamic programs:  

Social Innovation activities—including Social Impact Fellowships and Nonprofit Board Fellowships—training our students to address complex issues through a multidisciplinary lens, while making a direct impact for local businesses and organizations
The Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership, helping startup executives launch ventures that survive and succeed
