Government and Community Relations

We're here to advance UB's interests at all levels of government and the community.

The Office of Government and Community Relations coordinates and facilitates UB's interactions with local, state and federal governments as well as its relationship with neighboring communities.

We promote the interests of the University's faculty, students and staff through:

• contact with public officials
• involvement with educational organizations
• tracking of pertinent legislation
• lobbying on behalf of the University on a wide variety of issues.

The office also serves as a liaison between UB and its neighboring communities by maintaining relations with numerous community-based organizations and individuals.
