WELCOME TO UB!

Opening Weekend is UB’s kick-off to September Welcome - a month of activities to celebrate the new academic year.

This year’s opening will be full of activity.

Attend the University Welcome, where President Simpson and UB’s faculty get you ready for the year.

And be sure to collect your BLUE & WHITE tickets. White tickets can win you UB merchandise like hats and t-shirts and more. Blue tickets put you in the running for laptops and $500 prizes.

Plenty of volunteers will be ready to help you check-in. So get ready. We can’t wait to see you.

When you arrive on campus, pick up an Opening Weekend Guide at your residence hall or the Student Union. It’s a useful list of all the weekend’s activities.

UB’s New Student Picnic is sponsored by AT&T Mobility
