Purpose: When you give to this fund, you support initiatives that help build our school’s reputation locally, nationally, and internationally—while increasing the impact of our students, faculty, and community partner’s work. Elevating our standing within the global design community enhances our recruitment efforts, builds partnerships, and amplifies the school’s influence on the built environment and society. This fund provides support to UB’s School of Architecture and Planning at the discretion of the Dean or his/her designee.
Typical Uses: Public engagement, distinguished visiting scholars, world famous lecturers and exhibitors, communication efforts, and community engagement.
Purpose: The School of Architecture and Planning will partner with Assembly House 150 to host a summer camp intended to introduce high school students to architecture and the city. Participants will learn about the discipline and profession of architecture, gain hands-on building skills working with tools and materials, and visit important buildings and landscapes in Buffalo.
Typical Uses: Student stipends, materials and supplies, site visits, student opportunities, community engagement.
Purpose: The semi-annual Public Programs series explores themes in Architecture and Urban Planning and is open to the public; select events offer AIA and AICP learning units.

This allows students and faculty to engage noteworthy people and a wide range of work.
Typical Uses: Travel, accommodations, and honoraria for guest speakers, reception support for the enjoyment and networking of attendees.
