For fourth-year medical students from the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences and across the country, Match Day is a rite of passage, culminating in the moment when doctors-to-be learn where they’ll be pursuing their residency training programs.
The UB community is welcoming the return of peregrine falcons Hickory and Tornado! Nesting high in the tower of the MacKay Heating Plant on the east side of the South Campus, Tornado has laid a clutch of four eggs. You can follow the falcons’ journey on the Falcon Cam, watching as they tend the nest, the eggs hatch, the chicks grow and eventually take flight.
