Since its founding by a group which included future United States President Millard Fillmore, the university has evolved from a small medical school to a large research university. Today, in addition to the College of Arts and Sciences, the university houses the largest state-operated medical school, dental school, education school, business school, engineering school, and pharmacy school, and is also home to SUNY's only law school.[8] UB has the largest enrollment, largest endowment, and most research funding among the universities in the SUNY system.[9][10][11] The university offers bachelor's degrees in over 140 areas of study, as well as over 220 master's programs and over 95 doctoral programs, and 55 combined degree programs. The University at Buffalo and the University of Virginia are the only colleges founded by United States Presidents.[12]

The University at Buffalo is classified among "R1: Doctoral Universities – Very high research activity".[13] In 1989, UB was elected to the Association of American Universities. The University at Buffalo intercollegiate athletic teams are the Bulls. They compete in Division I of the NCAA and are members of the Mid-American Conference.

History edit

City leaders of Buffalo sought to establish a university in the city from the earliest days of Buffalo. A "University of Western New-York" was begun at Buffalo under the auspices of the Presbyterian Church and property was purchased at North Street and College, (the site of the later YMCA), on the north side of the Allentown district. "University of Western New-York" was chartered by the state on April 8, 1836. Following the charter, private funding was secured for the "Western University," which would endow six or seven professorships at $5,000 each; an addition $12,000 or $15,000 was also collected for a general fund, and a building lot was donated by Judge Ebenezer Walden, one of the wealthiest men in the city.[14] However, the project collapsed and no classes were ever offered, and only the layout of the College Street campus remains.[15]

Founding edit

The University of Buffalo (as it was originally named) was founded on May 11, 1846,[15] as a private medical school to train the doctors for the communities of Buffalo, Niagara Falls, and surrounding villages. Future U.S. President Millard Fillmore, then a lawyer who had recently served in the United States House of Representatives, was one of the principal founders.[16] James Platt White was instrumental in obtaining a charter for the university from the state legislature in 1846. He also taught the first class of 89 men in obstetrics. State Assemblyman Nathan K. Hall was also "particularly active in procuring the charter".[17] The doors first opened to students in 1847 and after associating with a hospital for teaching purposes, the first class of students graduated the medical school in July 1847. Fillmore served as the school's first chancellor, a position he held until 1874, even as he served in other capacities during that time, including Comptroller of New York, U.S. Vice President, and eventually President.

Initially, the university did not have its own facilities, and early lectures were given at an old post office on Seneca and Washington streets in Buffalo. The first building specially built for the university was a stone structure at the corner of Main and Virginia streets, built in 1849–50, through donations, public subscription, and a state grant.[17] There were continuous expansions to the college medical programs, including a separate pharmacy division, which is now The School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. In 1887, a law school was organized in Buffalo, which quickly became associated with Niagara University just to the north of Buffalo. After four years, in 1891, the law school was acquired by the University of Buffalo as the University of Buffalo Law School, which had a downtown Buffalo facility. In the first few years of the 20th century, the university began planning for a comprehensive undergraduate college to complete the basic structure of a university, and in 1909 the university acquired the Erie County Almshouse grounds from the county of Erie, which became the University of Buffalo's initial campus. The establishment may have been influenced by the 1910 Flexner Report which criticized the preparation of the medical students at the university.[18] With that additional space, in 1915, the then University of Buffalo formed the College of Arts and Sciences, creating an undergraduate division in addition to its prior educational work in the licensed professional fields. In 1916, Grace Millard Knox pledged $500,000 (equivalent to $13,446,000 in 2022) for the establishment of a "department of liberal arts and sciences in the University of Buffalo", which was at the time still a private institution. The initial gift of $100,000 was for the purchase of what would become Townsend Hall and the remainder was to establish the university's first endowment, in her husband's name, to support the department.[19]

 
First home of the Medical College

In 1950, the Industrial Engineering department branched off from the Mechanical Engineering department. In 1956, a Civil Engineering Department was formed under Lehigh University graduate Robert L. Ketter, who went on to become Dean of the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, and later President of the university. In 1959, WBFO was launched as an AM radio station by UB's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, and run by UB's students. The station has since become the launching pad of two modern National Public Radio personalities: Terry Gross and Ira Flatow. In 1961, the Western New York nuclear research program was created at the university. This program installed a miniature, active nuclear fission reactor on the university's South (Main Street) Campus. This program was not particularly active, nor could it compete with other government-run research labs, consequently, the programs performed in this facility were abandoned somewhat shortly after its inception. This reactor was decommissioned in 2005 with little fanfare due to material security concerns.

Acquisition by the SUNY system and second campus edit

The private University of Buffalo was purchased by and incorporated into the State University of New York (SUNY) system in 1962, and became known as the State University of New York at Buffalo, more commonly known as the University at Buffalo. This acquisition was championed by then-Governor of New York, Nelson Rockefeller.[20] As a part of the agreement to merge the university into the SUNY system, the state began to build an extensive second campus for the university. In 1964, the state acquired several hundred acres in the town of Amherst on the northeast of Buffalo, for development as a comprehensive campus for most of the non-medical disciplines at the University at Buffalo. This is often called the North Campus; it is the center of most University at Buffalo activities. The North Campus project included several major buildings, dormitory complexes, a separate spur of the interstate highway, and a new lake. The undergraduate college, the law school, and graduate schools were all moved to the new campus. During the late 1960s, the College of Arts and Sciences was divided into three separate schools: arts and letters, natural sciences and mathematics, and social sciences. During the 1998–1999 academic year, the three schools were reunited to re-create the existing College of Arts and Sciences, when the faculties of Arts and Letters, Social Sciences, and Natural Sciences and Mathematics were combined, according to a memorandum issued by the State University of New York.[21]

Since 1989, UB has been a member of the Association of American Universities (AAU), an organization of 65 leading research universities in the United States and Canada. UB president Satish K. Tripathi serves on the AAU board of directors.[22]

"UB 2020" strategic plan edit

Started in 2004 under President John B. Simpson, UB 2020 was a strategic planning initiative to develop and implement a vision for the university over the subsequent 15 years.[23] The centerpiece of UB 2020 was to add about 10,000 more students, 750 faculty members and 600 staff, increasing the size of the university by about 40 percent. UB 2020 also recognized the university's contribution to the surrounding region. The most recent estimates of UB's impact on the local and regional economies of Western New York report approximately $1.7 billion are brought into the local economy from the presence of UB. This figure is also expected to rise by 40 percent, corresponding with UB's institutional growth.

One of the keys to helping UB achieve the goals of the UB 2020 plan, proponents said, was the passage of S2020 and A2020, known as the UB 2020 Flexibility and Economic Growth Act, by the New York State Legislature. On June 3, 2009, the State Senate passed S2020 and sent the bill to the Assembly for their consideration.[24]

The current president, Satish K. Tripathi, continued his vocal support of UB 2020[25][26] and has been actively engaging in campus-wide discussion on the proposed tuition increases introduced by the bill.[27]

In 2011, the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences received a donation of $40 million from an alumnus, George Melvin Ellis Jr., MD, who earned his medical degree from the university in 1945.[28] The donation contributed to the $375 million project which has relocated the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences to UB's downtown campus.[29] The new school building was designed by HOK Architects. A subsequent donation of $30 million from Jeremy Jacobs and family was received in 2015 and the medical school was renamed the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences.

From FY2011 to FY2012, UB spent over $300 million on the strategic plan to construct and open four new buildings, including Davis Hall, William R. Greiner Residence Hall, the Clinical and Translational Research Center and Kaleida Health medical research building, and Crossroads Culinary Center.[30]

On August 22, 2013, President Barack Obama came to UB's campus to give a speech about needed higher education reform in the country. President Obama highlighted UB's accolades and specifically chose Buffalo for its excellence and commitment to the future, graduation rates and retention, and quality education at an affordable price.[31][32]

As part of the UB 2020 initiative, "Heart of the Campus" projects were initiated in phases on each of UB's three campuses. In Fall 2019, UB began construction of the One World Café, an "international eatery" located on North Campus, adjacent to Capen Hall, Norton Hall, and Founder's Plaza.[33][34][35]

Beginning in 2019, UB took steps to distance the institution from Millard Fillmore and ceased its co-sponsorship of his annual gravesite ceremony, due to his controversial policies regarding slavery in the United States. A year later, Fillmore's name was removed from the Millard Fillmore Academic Center, and the names of UB's fourth chancellor James O. Putnam and SUNY regent Peter Buell Porter were also removed from campus due to the former's openly racist views and the latter's ownership of slaves.[36][37][38][39][40]

Name edit

The university's official legal name is "State University of New York at Buffalo". The more commonly used name and the school's formal academic name is "University at Buffalo", informally "UB". This name is similar to the university's former name of over 100 years, "University of Buffalo". Other names like "SUNY Buffalo", "SUNY at Buffalo", and "Buffalo" are also seen.[41] The university's athletic department, particularly on uniforms, uses the name "Buffalo".[42]

Administration and organization edit

Buffalo is a public university and is one of four university centers of the 64 campuses in the State University of New York (SUNY) which enrolled 467,991 students and employed 88,024 academic staff in 2014.[43] SUNY is governed by an 18-member Board of Trustees, of which 16 vote. 15 of the voting members are appointed by the Governor of New York and the remaining voting member is elected by students as President of the Student Assembly of the State University of New York. The other two members are non-voting faculty from the University Faculty Senate and Faculty Council of Community Colleges. Merryl Tisch is the Chairman of the SUNY Board of Trustees and John King Jr. is the Chancellor of the SUNY system. Satish K. Tripathi was appointed by the SUNY Board of Trustees as the 15th president of the University at Buffalo in April 2011, becoming the first international-born president the school has had.[44] He previously held a six-year tenure as the UB provost and executive vice president for academic affairs. He receives compensation of $385,000, $115,000, and $150,000 annually from each of the university, SUNY Research Foundation, and the UB Foundation respectively.[45] The University at Buffalo Foundation (UB Foundation) was chartered in 1962 as an independent non-profit corporation and is controlled by a privately appointed board of trustees. It serves as a vehicle to raise private funds for the university, develop real estate, and manage endowment investments on behalf of the university.[46] The foundation managed a $685.2 million endowment for FY2011.[47]

The University at Buffalo is the state's largest and most comprehensive public university and is spread across three campuses: North Campus, South Campus, and Downtown Campus.[98][99] The Sustainable Endowments Institute's College Sustainability Report Card awarded the university a B+.[100] UB was awarded the EPA "Environmental Champion Award" in 2015 and is ranked as one of the top 50 "green colleges and universities" in the nation, working towards becoming climate neutral by 2030.[101]

North Campus edit

The North Campus, a census-designated place also called "University at Buffalo", located in the suburb of Amherst, began in the 1970s.[102] Many academic programs, including the entirety of the undergraduate College of Arts and Sciences, the University at Buffalo Law School, the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, the School of Management, the Graduate School of Social Work, and the Graduate School of Education, as well as Lockwood Memorial Library, Oscar A. Silverman Library, and many administrative offices, are located on UB's North Campus.

 
O'Brian Hall, home to the School of Law

The North Campus is home to administrative and academic offices. The main buildings are arranged along one academic "spine", a second floor connecting corridor, that connects most of the main academic buildings. The whole campus covers 1,192 acres (5 km2) with 146 buildings containing 6,715,492 sq ft (623,890 m2), 11 residence halls and 5 apartment complexes.[98] Its size was supported by the implementation of a shuttle system circling the academic sector and surrounding areas including the administrative complex, located nearly a quarter mile from the central academic area. When originally built by the state of New York, the North Campus was provided with two Interstate exits, from I-290 and I-990, its own internal parkway, the John James Audubon Parkway, and two small lakes created from Ellicott Creek. As a census-designated place, the residential population recorded at the 2010 census was 6,066.[103]

The North Campus offers a variety of entertainment programming and activity for students. It contains the Student Union, which houses offices for the Student Association and student-interest clubs; Slee Hall, which presents contemporary and classical music concerts; Alumni Arena, the home-court for University Athletics; the UB Center for the Arts, a non-profit presenter of a wide variety of professional entertainment and University at Buffalo Stadium, the 30,000 seat football stadium.

South Campus edit

The South Campus, also known as the Main Street campus, located on 154 acres (0.62 km2) in North Buffalo, is the former grounds of the Erie County Almshouse and Insane Asylum, of which four buildings still remain (Hayes Hall, the former insane asylum; Wende Hall, a former maternity hospital; Hayes D; and Townsend Hall, a former nurses' quarters). Edmund B. Hayes Hall located on South Campus is a registered U.S. National Historical Place.[104] The college was designed by architect E.B. Green in 1910, and was intended to resemble Trinity College, Dublin. Its 53 buildings contain (3,045,198 sq ft (282,908 m2)) and include two residence halls.[98] This campus is served by the northernmost subway station on Buffalo's Niagara Frontier Metro Rail system.

Today, the South Campus is home to the School of Nursing, School of Pharmacy, Dental School, and the School of Architecture and Urban Planning. In addition, the University at Buffalo South Campus is the home of the WBFO radio station, the university's biomedical science research complex, the Health Sciences Library, and certain administrative offices.

Downtown Campus edit

In 2002, UB commissioned Boston firm Chan Krieger to create a third campus center.[102] The Downtown Campus is the site of the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences as well as UB's New York State Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics and Life Science, which partners in research with UB's Ira G. Ross Eye Institute[105][106] as well as the Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center and Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute to compose the Buffalo-Niagara Medical Campus. The medical campus, which is designed to meet LEED Silver criteria, incorporates high efficiency lighting, heat recovery systems, and an Energy Star roof.

Also located in the downtown area is UB's Clinical and Research Institute on Addictions (CRIA), Educational Opportunity Center (EOC)[107] and the Jacobs Executive Development Center (JEDC). The campus includes six major properties and a total of 43 buildings, counting shared lease space (588,506 sq ft (54,674 m2)).[108]

In September 2007, UB added the former M. Wile and Company Factory Building on the southeast corner of Goodell and Ellicott streets and the former Trico Products Corp. building complex on the northwest corner of Goodell and Ellicott streets to its properties downtown. The UB Regional Institute, Center on Rehabilitation Synergy, and a number of pre-K-16 initiatives related to UB's civic engagement mission, such as the UB-Buffalo Public Schools Partnership office, are set to relocate to the first site. The latter location has been purchased to house additional biomedical and life science-related businesses connected to the Buffalo-Niagara Medical Campus.[109][110]

Teaching hospitals edit

UB's teaching hospitals include Buffalo General Hospital, Erie County Medical Center, Millard Fillmore Hospital, Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, Veterans Affairs Western New York Health Care System, and the John R. Oishei Children's Hospital. Additional facilities include free clinics such as the Kaleida Health's Niagara Family Health Center and the Lighthouse Free Medical Clinic, a program run by UB medical students.

UB art galleries edit

UB is home to two university art galleries, the UB Anderson Art Gallery and the UB Art Gallery at the Center for the Arts. Adjacent to the UB South Campus is the UB Anderson Art Gallery, a converted elementary school with an all-glass atrium exhibit space.[111] The UB Anderson Gallery hosts exhibitions curated by faculty and visiting curators and features works from international and professional artist in its two floor facility. The UB Anderson Gallery building, along with over 1,200 works of art, was donated to the university in 2000 by collector and gallery owner David K. Anderson, son of legendary New York gallerist Martha Jackson.[112] Selections from the personal collection of Jackson that was donated to the UB Anderson Gallery by David Anderson are on display in a 360 degree permanent installation in the Martha Jackson Gallery Archives and Research Center, on the second floor of the gallery.

The UB Art Gallery at the Center for the Arts is located on the north campus, and features works from contemporary artists, as well as faculty and students across disciplines.

Comprehensive Physical Plan edit

The University at Buffalo has grown to an enrollment of approximately 30,000 undergraduate and graduate students, and a staff of 14,000 employees, across three campuses in the last 160 years. In order to accommodate both students and faculty, the university is currently implementing a $4.5 million Comprehensive Physical Plan to help in growth as well as to best utilize and enhance current facilities. Connecting all three campuses, as well as the facilities UB uses, is also a major element of the project. The firm granted the contract to lead the project is Beyer Blinder Belle.

The comprehensive physical planning process is broken into four phases. Currently, UB is implementing "phase one" by seeking input from the local and university communities to pinpoint issues, opportunities, and concerns related to this expansion. The project recognizes UB's potential for excellence, in regard to the university's physical environment, by highlighting and evaluating various positive and negative attributes of the three campuses, including housing, circulation, functionality, landscape, and community interface.[113]

Associations and activities edit

UB has two student-run periodicals: The Spectrum,[118] and Subject,[119] both of which are run as independent nonprofits. The Spectrum is a campus newspaper, which distributes on campus and online. Subject is a student-run online multimedia outlet that includes student-written articles, and radio shows, video, and podcasts by students and alumni.

Subject was founded in 2020 by alumni of former campus radio station WRUB,[120] and campus magazine Generation,,[121] after Sub-Board I,[122] the student services corporation that funded them both, was shut down in 2019.[123]

After the retirement of John B. Simpson, the undergraduate students have also developed a university forum[124] with the hopes of developing a thriving online campus. This move was supported by now incumbent president Satish K Tripathi who called it a "model of University spirit and entrepreneurship".[125]

The UB Student Alumni Association (UBSAA) annually hosts the world's largest collegiate mud-volleyball game known as "Oozefest". One hundred ninety-two teams of at least six students compete in a double elimination volleyball tournament at "The Mud Pit" each Spring before finals. Fire trucks are brought in to saturate the dirt courts to create the mud. Awards are handed out to not only the victors, but the most creatively dressed. In the past, students have worn business suits and even dresses to the tournament.

Held annually from 1991 to 2018 has been the Linda Yalem Safety Run, formerly called the Linda Yalem Memorial Run. Linda Yalem was a sophomore at UB who was studying communications and training for the New York City Marathon when she was raped and killed by Altemio Sanchez after going for a run on the Ellicott Creek Bike Path on September 29, 1990. The Run was held every year in her memory and to promote safety for runners.

In 1923, an honorary senior society called Bisonhead was founded. It has since represented twelve undergraduate leaders at UB each year.[126]

Many of UB's clubs, such as the UB Accounting Association, are run through the Undergraduate Student Association and the Graduate Student Association, with each level requiring respective senate recognition for clubs.

Student housing edit

 
Greiner Hall on North Campus
 
UB North Campus Ellicott Complex

Student residence halls are located on both the North and South Campuses. On the North Campus, there is the Ellicott Complex, which consists of Evans (formerly Porter), Fargo, Red Jacket, Richmond, Spaulding, and Wilkeson Quadrangles. The Ellicott Complex is also known as "Lego Land" because the shapes of the buildings resemble Legos stacked upon each other. Next to Fargo Quad is the newly built in 2011 Greiner Hall, a dorm strictly for sophomores. Also on North Campus is the Governors Complex, home to the Freshman Honors Housing and various other living communities. There are also off-campus housing options close to the north campus such as The Triad Apartments.

On South Campus is Goodyear and Clement Hall. The unique aspect of these dorms is that residents share a bathroom with the adjacent room, rather than have a communal bathroom. Up until Spring of 2011, there were four other dorm buildings, referred to as "The Quad": MacDonald, Pritchard, Schoellkopf, and Michael Hall. Michael Hall currently exists as the Student Health Center, the other three were demolished in 2018.

In 1999, the university built its first apartment complex for families and graduate students at Flickinger Court. Since the success of Flickinger, UB has developed South Lake Village, Hadley Village, Flint Village, and Creekside Apartments. Most students who wish to still live on or near the North Campus but enjoy the lifestyle of apartment living take advantage of these apartments. University Village at Sweethome, Villas at Rensch, and Villas at Chestnut Ridge are student apartment communities adjacent to the North Campus and offer a shuttle service.[127] Collegiate Village off campus apartments offers transportation to both North and South Campus.[128] Students also find housing in private locations. Those locations are generally situated in the University Heights district of Buffalo, and other areas close to the North and South Campuses. The school assigns rooms based on a lottery system.

In 2023, a conservative student group, Young Americans for Freedom, sued the University at Buffalo’s Student Association for a policy prohibiting student groups from affiliation with national organizations. The policy took effect after the group hosted conservative commentator Michael Knowles. In July 2023, the group dropped part of the lawsuit.[129]

Athletics edit

 
Alumni Arena in 2019
 
Victor E. Bull, November 5, 2013

The university's sports teams are known as the Buffalo Bulls, or UB Bulls.[130] The Bulls compete in Division I (Division I FBS of the NCAA in football),[130] and are a member of the Mid-American Conference (MAC) for all sports.[130] The Bulls have been a member of the Mid-American Conference since 1998.[130][131]

Buffalo is the only SUNY school to field a Division I FBS football team, the highest level of college football. They are also the only SUNY school to have had their men's basketball team nationally ranked and the only SUNY school to have had their women's basketball team nationally ranked. Because of its academic and athletic successes, the University at Buffalo is consistently cited as the athletic flagship of the SUNY system.[132]

Buffalo Bulls field athletic teams in many other sports as well.[130] Men's team sports at UB include those in football, basketball, track and field, wrestling, cross country, and tennis.[130] The Bulls' women's teams feature basketball, track and field, cross country, volleyball, softball, soccer, tennis, and swimming and diving.[130] Cheerleading is co-ed. The Bulls have had many athletes turn professional in football, baseball, basketball, soccer, and volleyball.[133]

Over 30 Buffalo Bulls baseball players have been selected in the MLB draft. Notable Buffalo baseball alumni include: Joe Hesketh, Tom Murphy, Bill Schuster, Eddie Basinski and Steve Geltz. The Women's Varsity Rowing team won the CAA Colonial Athletic Association championship in April 2010 for the first time. In May 2010, the team won the Jack & Nancy Seitz Women's Point Trophy at the Dad Vail Regatta for the third year in a row. Rowing became a club sport at the end of the 2017 Spring semester. In 2015 UB's men track and field star, Jonathan Jones, became the first national champion in UB's Division I history when he won the shot put at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships.[134]

The mascot of UB's athletic teams is Victor E. Bull, a blue bull.[135] The university is home to the Thunder of the East marching band. The band performs at all home football games and travels to both local and national parades and competitions. Buffalo has three fight songs: "Victory March", "Go for a Touchdown", and "Buffalo Fight Song".[136]

Basketball edit

The men's basketball team plays their home games at the 6,783 seat Alumni Arena. The Bulls were champions of the Mid-American Conference in 2015, 2016, 2018 and 2019 and thus earned the automatic bid to March Madness in each of those seasons. They are the only MAC school to win the conference tournament in 4 seasons out of 5. In 2018 the Bulls upset No. 4 seed Arizona in the first round of March Madness, advancing to the second round (round of 32) for the first time in school history.[137] In the 2018-19 season Buffalo, led by C.J. Massinburg, earned a national ranking for the first time in the Associated Press poll.[138][139] The basketball team was nationally ranked for most of the season with a high ranking of #11 on both the AP and Coaches Polls. For the second year in a row the Bulls won a game in the NCAA tournament, defeating Arizona State.[140][141]

The women's basketball team won the MAC championship and made their first trip to the NCAA tournament in program history in 2016. In 2017 the women's team made another trip to the NCAA Tournament beating South Florida in the first round and Florida State in the second round, making the sweet sixteen for the first time in program history. The team finished with a final ranking of #21 in the Coaches Poll.[142] In 2019, the men's and women's basketball teams both won the MAC championship on the same day, the second time the Bulls had done so in four seasons. The women's team defeated Rutgers in the NCAA tournament in their third appearance in March Madness in four years.

Football edit

The University at Buffalo football team plays their home games at the 31,000+ capacity University at Buffalo Stadium. In 1958, the football team won the Lambert Cup, emblematic of supremacy in Eastern U.S. small-college football. That led to the team's first bowl invitation, to the Tangerine Bowl in Orlando, Florida, against Florida State University. But the Bulls would be allowed to participate only if backup defensive end Mike Wilson and starting halfback Willie Evans, who were black, did not play. The team stood behind the two, and refused the bowl offer. Buffalo did not receive another bowl invitation until the 2008 season when they won the MAC championship against previously undefeated Ball State.[143]

Several UB football stars from the 1950s and early 1960s went on to play professional football, including quarterback John Stofa with the American Football League's Miami Dolphins and Cincinnati Bengals, and defensive lineman Gerry Philbin with the AFL's New York Jets. Philbin is a member of the AFL Hall of Fame and the All-time All-AFL Team. Philbin and UB's Willie Ross were the first two UB graduates to play on professional football championship teams in the United States: Ross with the 1964 AFL Champion Buffalo Bills; and Philbin with the 1968 AFL Champion New York Jets, who also won that season's AFL-NFL World Championship Game (Super Bowl III). James Starks was on the Green Bay Packers Super Bowl XLV champions as a rookie. Ramon Guzman played on the 2009 Grey Cup champion Montreal Alouettes.

 
Linebacker Khalil Mack from the University at Buffalo

Khalil Mack was selected as the first round fifth pick in the NFL draft, becoming the first UB football player to be selected in the first round of the NFL Draft. In his time at Buffalo, Mack became the all-time NCAA record for forced fumbles and is also tied for most career tackles for loss in NCAA history. In his time in the NFL, Mack has been one of the most accomplished players in the league. He has been selected for the Pro Bowl every year from 2015 to 2019 and been named First Team All-Pro in 2015, 2016 and 2018. In 2015, Mack became the first first-team All-Pro in NFL history to be elected in two different positions in the same year, as a defensive end and outside linebacker. Mack was named the NFL Defensive Player of the Year for the 2016 season.

The 2020 season saw Buffalo ranked in the AP Poll for the first time in program history led by running back Jaret Patterson en route to an undefeated regular season. On November 28, 2020, Patterson rushed for 409 yards while scoring 8 touchdowns, tying a Division 1 FBS record against Kent State.

nbsp Official White House portrait of Millard FillmoreCity leaders of Buffalo sought to establish a university in the city from the earliest days of Buffalo A University of Western New York was begun at Buffalo under the auspices of the Presbyterian Church and property was purchased at North Street and College the site of the later YMCA on the north side of the Allentown district University of Western New York was chartered by the state on April 8 1836 Following the charter private funding was secured for the Western University which would endow six or seven professorships at 5 000 each an addition 12 000 or 15 000 was also collected for a general fund and a building lot was donated by Judge Ebenezer Walden one of the wealthiest men in the city 14 However the project collapsed and no classes were ever offered and only the layout of the College Street campus remains 15 Founding edit The University of Buffalo as it was originally named was founded on May 11 1846 15 as a private medical school to train the doctors for the communities of Buffalo Niagara Falls and surrounding villages Future U S President Millard Fillmore then a lawyer who had recently served in the United States House of Representatives was one of the principal founders 16 James Platt White was instrumental in obtaining a charter for the university from the state legislature in 1846 He also taught the first class of 89 men in obstetrics State Assemblyman Nathan K Hall was also particularly active in procuring the charter 17 The doors first opened to students in 1847 and after associating with a hospital for teaching purposes the first class of students graduated the medical school in July 1847 Fillmore served as the school s first chancellor a position he held until 1874 even as he served in other capacities during that time including Comptroller of New York U S Vice President and eventually President nbsp 1907 Pub Scene students singingInitially the university did not have its own facilities and early lectures were given at an old post office on Seneca and Washington streets in Buffalo The first building specially built for the university was a stone structure at the corner of Main and Virginia streets built in 1849 50 through donations public subscription and a state grant 17 There were continuous expansions to the college medical programs including a separate pharmacy division which is now The School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences In 1887 a law school was organized in Buffalo which quickly became associated with Niagara University just to the north of Buffalo After four years in 1891 the law school was acquired by the University of Buffalo as the University of Buffalo Law School which had a downtown Buffalo facility In the first few years of the 20th century the university began planning for a comprehensive undergraduate college to complete the basic structure of a university and in 1909 the university acquired the Erie County Almshouse grounds from the county of Erie which became the University of Buffalo s initial campus The establishment may have been influenced by the 1910 Flexner Report which criticized the preparation of the medical students at the university 18 With that additional space in 1915 the then University of Buffalo formed the College of Arts and Sciences creating an undergraduate division in addition to its prior educational work in the licensed professional fields In 1916 Grace Millard Knox pledged 500 000 equivalent to 13 446 000 in 2022 for the establishment of a department of liberal arts and sciences in the University of Buffalo which was at the time still a private institution The initial gift of 100 000 was for the purchase of what would become Townsend Hall and the remainder was to establish the university s first endowment in her husband s name to support the department 19 nbsp First home of the Medical CollegeIn 1950 the Industrial Engineering department branched off from the Mechanical Engineering department In 1956 a Civil Engineering Department was formed under Lehigh University graduate Robert L Ketter who went on to become Dean of the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and later President of the university In 1959 WBFO was launched as an AM radio station by UB s School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and run by UB s students The station has since become the launching pad of two modern National Public Radio personalities Terry Gross and Ira Flatow In 1961 the Western New York nuclear research program was created at the university This program installed a miniature active nuclear fission reactor on the university s South Main Street Campus This program was not particularly active nor could it compete with other government run research labs consequently the programs performed in this facility were abandoned somewhat shortly after its inception This reactor was decommissioned in 2005 with little fanfare due to material security concerns Acquisition by the SUNY system and second campus edit The private University of Buffalo was purchased by and incorporated into the State University of New York SUNY system in 1962 and became known as the State University of New York at Buffalo more commonly known as the University at Buffalo This acquisition was championed by then Governor of New York Nelson Rockefeller 20 As a part of the agreement to merge the university into the SUNY system the state began to build an extensive second campus for the university In 1964 the state acquired several hundred acres in the town of Amherst on the northeast of Buffalo for development as a comprehensive campus for most of the non medical disciplines at the University at Buffalo This is often called the North Campus it is the center of most University at Buffalo activities The North Campus project included several major buildings dormitory complexes a separate spur of the interstate highway and a new lake The undergraduate college the law school and graduate schools were all moved to the new campus During the late 1960s the College of Arts and Sciences was divided into three separate schools arts and letters natural sciences and mathematics and social sciences During the 1998 1999 academic year the three schools were reunited to re create the existing College of Arts and Sciences when the faculties of Arts and Letters Social Sciences and Natural Sciences and Mathematics were combined according to a memorandum issued by the State University of New York 21 Since 1989 UB has been a member of the Association of American Universities AAU an organization of 65 leading research universities in the United States and Canada UB president Satish K Tripathi serves on the AAU board of directors 22 UB 2020 strategic plan edit Started in 2004 under President John B Simpson UB 2020 was a strategic planning initiative to develop and implement a vision for the university over the subsequent 15 years 23 The centerpiece of UB 2020 was to add about 10 000 more students 750 faculty members and 600 staff increasing the size of the university by about 40 percent UB 2020 also recognized the university s contribution to the surrounding region The most recent estimates of UB s impact on the local and regional economies of Western New York report approximately 1 7 billion are brought into the local economy from the presence of UB This figure is also expected to rise by 40 percent corresponding with UB s institutional growth One of the keys to helping UB achieve the goals of the UB 2020 plan proponents said was the passage of S2020 and A2020 known as the UB 2020 Flexibility and Economic Growth Act by the New York State Legislature On June 3 2009 the State Senate passed S2020 and sent the bill to the Assembly for their consideration 24 nbsp A UB student Silvana D Ettorre introduced President Barack Obama at a speech given in Alumni Arena in 2013 The current president Satish K Tripathi continued his vocal support of UB 2020 25 26 and has been actively engaging in campus wide discussion on the proposed tuition increases introduced by the bill 27 In 2011 the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences received a donation of 40 million from an alumnus George Melvin Ellis Jr MD who earned his medical degree from the university in 1945 28 The donation contributed to the 375 million project which has relocated the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences to UB s downtown campus 29 The new school building was designed by HOK Architects A subsequent donation of 30 million from Jeremy Jacobs and family was received in 2015 and the medical school was renamed the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences From FY2011 to FY2012 UB spent over 300 million on the strategic plan to construct and open four new buildings including Davis Hall William R Greiner Residence Hall the Clinical and Translational Research Center and Kaleida Health medical research building and Crossroads Culinary Center 30 On August 22 2013 President Barack Obama came to UB s campus to give a speech about needed higher education reform in the country President Obama highlighted UB s accolades and specifically chose Buffalo for its excellence and commitment to the future graduation rates and retention and quality education at an affordable price 31 32 As part of the UB 2020 initiative Heart of the Campus projects were initiated in phases on each of UB s three campuses In Fall 2019 UB began construction of the One World Cafe an international eatery located on North Campus adjacent to Capen Hall Norton Hall and Founder s Plaza 33 34 35 Beginning in 2019 UB took steps to distance the institution from Millard Fillmore and ceased its co sponsorship of his annual gravesite ceremony due to his controversial policies regarding slavery in the United States A year later Fillmore s name was removed from the Millard Fillmore Academic Center and the names of UB s fourth chancellor James O Putnam and SUNY regent Peter Buell Porter were also removed from campus due to the former s openly racist views and the latter s ownership of slaves 36 37 38 39 40 Name editThe university s official legal name is State University of New York at Buffalo The more commonly used name and the school s formal academic name is University at Buffalo informally UB This name is similar to the university s former
