UB faculty/staff appeal extended

The 1997 Faculty & Staff Appeal to benefit the university has been extended through June 30.

"Having members of the UB community step up to offer their support says a lot about their deep commitment to, and interest in, enriching the university's academic and research excellence," said Claude E. Welch Jr., SUNY Distinguished Service Professor in the Department of Political Science and co-chair of the Faculty & Staff Appeal. "By extending this appeal, we are enabling more faculty and staff to take an active part in these efforts."

Gifts to UB can be designated for a variety of areas, including to a particular faculty/school, undergraduate scholarships, the university's libraries, WBFO-88.7 FM, athletics, unrestricted use, as well as other parts of the university.

For additional information on the appeal or to receive a pledge card or payroll-deduction form, contact UB's Annual Appeal office at 829-2630 ext. 228, or via e-mail at ub-annual-appeal@acsu.buffalo.edu.
