We often hear about the many accolades and successes UB alumni are achieving each day. Earlier this fall, the Baltimore City Paper honored several UB alumni and students, which made us feel pretty proud around here. But, in case the news somehow manages to buzz by us, we want you to let us know. Give us a call, send us an email or fill out this online form to let us know what you've been up to since graduation and what milestones -- a new baby, an exciting promotion, a big move -- happened to you this year. 
 

Sincerely,

The Office of Alumni Relations
