While our vision is ambitious and global in scale, the core of our mission is our students. As a public university, an education at UB CBE offers one of the most affordable and highest quality experiences available in the country, but this is not enough to attract the finest and most promising domestic students, on its own.
We compete against many larger and better funded institutions for students. With public funding alone, the department is only able to support a small number of these students at a higher annual stipend.
To attract the best and brightest, UB CBE is establishing our Outstanding Fellowship Endowment ?? Fund. The fund will allow us to compete for the best students; the ones not only most deserving, but also most likely to become successful on the national and/or international stage upon graduation.
