Getting Involved
As a student, you can help guide decisions that affect your community. Here are some ways you can get involved and use your voice this year.
Through freedom of expression, Buffs are entitled and welcome to express themselves in forums across campus, while not interfering with anyone’s safe access to 91¸£ÀûÉç’s academic environment.
Activism and free expression play an important role in our democracy by enabling us to share our ideas, engage in healthy debate and respectfully disagree with one another. We believe in educating and providing opportunities for our campus community to engage on issues.
Each year, 91¸£ÀûÉç joins institutions nationwide to recognize the pivotal work of postdoctoral scholars. These scholars often serve as the backbone of innovative research, advancing cutting-edge projects across disciplines while working closely with faculty and graduate students.
College of Media, Communication and Information faculty panelists praised students for raising thoughtful, serious, nonpartisan questions about how to be active citizens.
Who can you turn to when you encounter issues or questions you don’t know how to handle? The Ombuds Office is a team of conflict-resolution professionals who can help clarify university-related concerns. Learn more; it’s free and confidential.
This week brings an evening with chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov, football and soccer games, International Coffee Hour, an annual student drag show, free food, movies and more.
Freedom of expression is central to 91¸£ÀûÉç’s academic mission. It’s also what makes us all Buffs. At the same time, we must provide public safety, while maintaining campus operations and the ability for students, faculty and staff to access campus facilities. We encourage all Buffs to engage their fellow Buffs with courage, curiosity, care and consistency.
The Research & Innovation Office hosted a Fellowship Writing Success Stories virtual panel featuring Emmanuel David, Elspeth Dusinberre and Ashleigh Lawrence-Sanders who shared their personal journeys and strategies for successful fellowship applications.
The recent Buffs Chancellor Welcome event included a chat and opportunity to get to know 91¸£ÀûÉç Chancellor Justin Schwartz. Watch the video recording.
