True Blue through and through! 💙 Thanks so much to our awesome #UBuffalo community for coming to the Blue-Out Game on Friday! 🤘🏼 #UBTrueBlue
At a basketball game, fans in blue and white fill the stands, some with hands raised in a "rock on" gesture and blue pom-poms. Players in blue uniforms are on the court; one is shooting a basketball toward the hoop. In stadium seating, a blue Buffalo mascot in a jersey with 'Buffalo 1' stands out among fans. A drummer in a blue shirt and pink glasses stands with a drum. They wears a blue cap and have a white and blue scarf with a bull logo draped over their shoulder. A crowd of young adults cheering in stadium seats, wearing school colors of blue and white. Many are wearing scarves with "UNIVERSITY" and a buffalo logo on them.

"Welcome back!” is written in snow by Lake LaSalle, with campus buildings and a blue, cloudy sky in the background. The sun shines brightly. The snow covers everything in the foreground. People walk towards the Student Union on a slushy path under a skybridge with text: "How to take a break between breakthroughs." The "Student Union" sign is visible on the building's side. Exterior shot of Grace Plaza on a winter day with snow on the ground. The sign reads, "Grace Plaza, School of Engineering and Applied Sciences". The exterior of Capen Hall, a brick building with the UB logo on top, is shown. Trees without leaves frame the building. Snow covers the ground.

During my travels in India, I met with students from Bengaluru who are considering making #UBuffalo their academic home. I was delighted to showcase UB’s academic and research excellence and share the exciting opportunities that await them!

2025 was full of memorable moments and milestones at #UBuffalo: record enrollment, AI advancements, new campus spaces and a major announcement from President Satish K. Tripathi. Take a look back at some of our favorite photos from the year 📸 ubuffalo.exposure.co/a-big-announ...
A stately clock tower rises against a vibrant blue sky with scattered clouds. The tower, adorned with architectural details, stands atop a building with snow-dusted rooftops, blending historical charm with a wintery landscape. Audience views a stage with "State of the University 2025" displayed. President Satish K. Tripathi faces the audience, clapping. Banners and flags are visible, bearing the university's seal. Text includes "University at Buffalo." A high-angle shot shows a bright corridor with students walking near large windows and sitting at study counters. A large screen displays students working, creating a busy academic atmosphere. Governor Kathy Hochul talks with a person holding a tablet controlling a robot dog.
