Support the Department

Help shape the next generation of thinkers, leaders and changemakers.

At UB, students arrive from all walks of life—but they graduate with a world of opportunity ahead. That’s the promise of a great public university. It’s also where you come in.

Why your support matters

The College of Arts and Sciences is powered by public funding, but it’s elevated by private giving. Your generosity helps bridge the gap—ensuring our students have access to scholarships, career-shaping research opportunities, expert faculty and real-world learning experiences that prepare them for the road ahead.

Whether you’re a UB alum, a proud parent or simply someone who believes in the power of accessible education, your support makes a lasting impact.

Your gift helps:

  • Provide scholarships to deserving students
  • Fund hands-on research and internships
  • Attract and retain outstanding faculty
  • Invest in classrooms, labs and technology
  • Support student clubs and academic initiatives
