Support the Department of History
Help us preserve the past and inspire the future
At the University at Buffalo, history students learn to question deeply, think critically and engage thoughtfully with the world.
That kind of education does not happen by accident. It is sustained by people who believe in the power of public higher education.
When you give to the Department of History, you support students, research and community engagement that keep history meaningful and relevant.
Public funding provides a foundation. Private generosity expands what is possible.
Your gift helps create opportunities that go beyond the classroom and strengthen the student experience.
With your support, history students can:
- Receive scholarships that keep a UB education accessible
- Conduct archival and community-based research
- Attend conferences and present original work
- Build professional networks that support career goals
- Participate in internships and public history projects
- Access technology and research resources that bring the past to life
Every gift helps students gain the skills and experiences that prepare them for graduate study, public service, education and leadership roles.
The Department of History is deeply connected to Western New York. Your support helps extend our impact beyond campus.
Gifts make it possible to:
- Bring leading scholars and speakers to UB
- Host public discussions that add historical context to current events
- Partner with museums, archives and cultural institutions across the region
- Support projects that preserve local stories and expand public understanding
Your generosity strengthens not only our students but also the broader community.
Whether large or small, your support helps ensure that history remains vibrant, accessible and forward-looking at UB. Together, we can preserve the past while preparing students to shape the future.
