Love from the Hive:

 What I miss the most about UB is... "Everything. The professors, the students, the smell of the old classrooms in the liberal arts building, learning, being part of a community."
-Melissa Foley-King, B.A. '06

Good morning!

The holiday season is upon us, and it feels like the perfect time to thank you for your support of UB. Without the generosity of so many alumni and friends, the University would not be where it is today. Take a look at the 2015 annual report to learn more about who we are and where we are going. #thisiswhoweareub

Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving!

Sincerely,

Fuel for Finals

Help the UBAA serve free snacks and beverages and wish our students good luck on their final exams on Dec. 3, 3-6 p.m., in the Law Center or Dec. 9, 11 a.m.-2 p.m., in the Business Center. 

SavorUB
This program offers alumni a unique opportunity to share their expertise with students over a meal or coffee at local Baltimore restaurants. It is a flexible, one-time commitment that will hopefully turn into a meaningful mentor relationship.

Social Media Ambassadors
Lend your voice and perspective by sharing news, events and programming to your social network. And, join us as we celebrate #GivingTuesday, a global day dedicated to giving back. This is a great opportunity for those out-of-state alumni who wish to give their time and talents but cannot get to campus!

For more information about volunteer opportunities, contact Erica Wienholt at 410.837.5508.

Six finalists will compete for $16,000 in cash and in-kind services. The competition provides seed funding for existing business ventures. A reception with light refreshments will follow. Learn more and RSVP.
SUPPORT UB ON #GIVINGTUESDAY  

On Dec.1, 2015, join the one-day global movement dedicated to giving back and participate in Giving Tuesday by making a gift to UB. For every gift UB receives on Giving Tuesday, we'll put a shiny new bow on the beloved Edgar Allan Poe statue that sits on Gordon Plaza to show just how generous the UB community can be. Your gift will benefit the unrestricted fund of your selected UB college or school; these funds often make it possible for students to participate in conferences, competitions and other experiential opportunities. Learn more, and plan to put a #BowOnPoe for UB students on #GivingTuesday!
ALUMNI INSURANCE PROGRAM  
 
Will you have health insurance next year? With the annual Open Enrollment period running from November 1, 2015 through January 31, 2016, this is the best time to consider your healthcare needs and what Open Enrollment means for you. The Alumni Insurance Program, through Meyer and Associates, offers a variety of attractively priced products, most of which are available to alumni, students, faculty and staff, as well as spouses, domestic partners, children and siblings.
