Athletics

Men and women competing on teams that bear the Bulls name are among UB’s greatest ambassadors. They are a window into the heart of the university, a visible expression of what UB values most: ambition and tenacity, passion and integrity. Your generous support will help ensure that our 385 student-athletes receive every opportunity to perform at the highest levels—in the classroom, in the community, and in competition.

As a university unmistakably on the rise, UB deserves even greater athletics. Our sports teams, at their best, shine a light on all that is good about the University at Buffalo. We invite you to step up for Bulls Nation. To be part of our team. And to give generously. This is our moment to strengthen our university and the city that is our home and the home of our fans. This is our time to shape the future of UB Athletics, proudly and boldly. Horns up!

Is UB in your will?

On UB Giving Day, it’s our goal to identify supporters who have included a gift to UB in their will, but have not yet let us know. If this applies to you, contact Wendy Irving, Associate Vice President for Planned Giving at (877) 825-3422 or dev-pg@buffalo.edu. Together we can learn about your giving intent, and help you to create a lasting legacy at UB.
