Meet Clem the Goose
Clem isn't just any goose; she's a feathered ambassador for UB's College of Arts and Sciences, gliding gracefully into the hearts of everyone she meets.
Clem's mission is simple: to help students across UB make friends and discover all the resources the College has to offer!
To help you get to know her better, Clem sat down with our editor for a "Goose & A" session. And, stay tuned to the College's Instagram page for more insights and fun from Clem.

What would constitute a “perfect” day for you?
"A long walk along Lake LaSalle finished with a sunset at Baird Point. After, I’d love to grab a bite of someone’s ankle – I mean, a bite to eat at One World Café."
What is the first thing people notice about you?
"Usually that I’m in the way…they tend to let me know by honking their car horn at me. The second thing they notice is how quickly I can lunge at their ankles."
What are your best skills?
"Gathering in inconvenient places with friends and flying south."
What is the most important thing you’re looking for in a friend?
"Someone who is True Blue – spirited, inspired, and unstoppable!"
How would your friends describe you?
"Spunky, intelligent and unapologetically loud."
The things you can’t live without?
"My family, my friends and the lawn between the Center for the Arts and the Commons – such a delicacy."
When did you last sing your heart out?
"My singing voice is more like a honk, but I don’t let it stop me from belting out my favorite jams. I sang to everyone within a half mile radius of the Student Union this morning."
How do you typically spend your leisure time?
"Swimming, eating and lunging at students on their way to class (sorry!)."
Given the choice of anyone in the world, whom would you want as a dinner guest?
"Wings down, Robin Schulze. She’s dean of the College of Arts and Sciences!"
If you could gain a super power, what would it be?
"Longevity! I want to live to at least 24 so I can be in the prestigious Baird Book of Goose Records."
What are you are most thankful for?
"UB and the College of Arts and Sciences, for being my “home away from home."
