In recognition of Women's History Month, we're proud to celebrate the distinguished women of UB's School of Architecture and Planning and their boundary-breaking contributions to gender equity. Today we celebrate Carol Ramos-Gerena, a student in our urban planning PhD program with research interests in food systems planning, urban agroecology and food sovereignty.

The School of Architecture and Planning is pleased to announce that its commencement ceremony will take place as an in-person, outdoor event on Friday, May 14, 2021, at 5:00 PM (tented location on North Campus TBD).

Director of UB's Center for Urban Studies and a member of the urban planning faculty for more than 30 years, Henry Taylor continues to bring his impassioned perspective on urban life and racial justice to both the university and the city he calls home. 

The School of Architecture and Planning celebrates the work we do together to "see" and eliminate the legacies of systemic racism and mobilize our professions as forces for regenerative change. 

As we open the spring 2021 semester, we embrace signs of hope – the deployment of a COVID-19 vaccine, the prospect of relief from the pandemic, and UB's plans to return to campus more fully in fall 2021. Still, we continue to adapt with creativity and optimism to the changing circumstances of this historic moment.
