UB Fund for International Education

Created in 2020, this fund supports strategic priorities and areas of greatest need in international education.

International Education connects students and their learning to the larger world through our diverse, international and inclusive campus community and through a network of international programs, affiliations and curricular and experiential opportunities.

UB’s inclusive community is nourished by its global diversity, with students, faculty and staff from many countries. In an increasingly global society, we are proud to have the world reflected on our campuses, and to provide all of our students with the unparalleled global learning opportunities that can only be found at a truly internationalized university. Your philanthropy will enable a richer experience for all students—including those from Buffalo, across the U.S. and around the globe.
