UB MAGAZINE
We can't help but brag: The UB Magazine website has won honorable mention in its category in the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education District II Accolades. Take a look around and let us know what you think about the website.
BE MORE
On March 3-7, Be More, UB's leadership and community engagement program, is hosting Strengths Week. Be More will be celebrating the strengths of the UB community with a variety of special programs and promotions: a video contest, giveaways, information tables, and StrengthsQuest workshops.  StrengthsQuest assesses an individual's talents and helps students determine how their talents and strengths can be successfully applied at work, in school and in one's personal life. For more information, visit www.ubalt.edu/strengths and follow StrengthsQuest on Facebook.
BACKPACK TO BRIEFCASE
Each semester, graduates from various fields within the College of Public Affairs and the Yale Gordon College of Arts and Sciences return to campus to speak with students in the program from which they graduated as part of the Backpack to Briefcase program. They share their stories and assist students with envisioning future careers in their field. If you are interested in being a B2B speaker or need more information about the program, please contact Sam Davis at 410.837.5508 or [email protected].
