Campus Candids

Thank you to everyone who lent a helping hand on Thursday, December 1 at the United Way’s Service to Go project. More than 30 faculty and staff rallied in the Old Main Lounge to make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for the Buffalo City Mission, which then distributed the sandwiches to families in need.
