From the Desk of the Vice President

Dear Student Life Colleagues,

Although warmer weather has been slow to arrive, spring break is just around the corner and commencement season will be here before we know it.

During the month of February, we had the unique opportunity to recognize our Student Life colleagues celebrating milestone service anniversaries at UB in the 10, 30, and 40-year categories. Last month also saw exciting events such as Campus Dining and Shops creating an unforgettable Olympic-themed dinner at Crossroads Culinary Center, and Student Engagement hosting the Next Level Leadership Mentoring Conference, bringing together 100 student leaders and 49 mentors for a dynamic and meaningful leadership experience. I am deeply grateful for the dedication, creativity, and commitment that go into hosting these types of programs for Student Life.

I am also excited to introduce you to the launch of a new website feature, Inside Student Life, which will spotlight on a quarterly basis, team members that are having an impact in our division. The first feature highlights our new Assistant Vice President for Student Wellness, Amy Falvo, and can be found at the link below.

As we approach the halfway mark of the semester, I’m energized by the work that we do and all that we can accomplish together.

Sincerely,

Brian F. Hamluk
Vice President for Student Life

Last month, Crossroads Culinary Center (C3) hosted a special event that transformed an ordinary evening meal into a global celebration of winter sports and international cuisine. Inspired by the excitement and pageantry of the recent Olympic games, this Winter Olympics Gala featured themed décor, games, activities, and a diverse menu showcasing flavors from countries participating in the Winter Olympics.

Saturday, April 11 & Sunday, April 26

Based on early registration numbers, we are expecting a high turn out for this signature spring event. More information is forthcoming.

Last  month, we reintroduced our annual Milestone Service Recognition and commemorated anniversaries for 10, 30, and 40-years of service at UB. We are grateful for the contributions of our team and look forward to making this an annual event again.
