UB today officially unveiled Blackstone LaunchPad at UB, a hands-on learning program created by the Blackstone Charitable Foundation to introduce entrepreneurship as a viable career option to UB’s students, regardless of major.
UB faculty members Diane Christian and Bruce Jackson are widely known for having multifaceted careers. They recently added a new role to their lengthy résumés: that of philanthropists.
Tom Ulbrich, an assistant dean in the UB School of Management and executive director of its Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership, has been appointed executive director of the new Blackstone LaunchPad at UB.
The UB Humanities Institute and the Committee on Digital Scholarship and Cultures will take a week-long look at how digital technologies are influencing scholarship.
