For students, faculty, and visitors at the University at Buffalo, the Events Calendar is more than a list—it’s a roadmap to campus life. From freshman orientation to alumni reunions, every date holds an opportunity to engage. Below is a step‑by‑step guide to navigating the calendar, filtering what matters most, and staying in the loop with minimal effort.
Map the Calendar: Where to Find the Pulse of Campus Life
The UB Events Calendar lives on the university’s main website and is mirrored on the mobile app, ensuring accessibility wherever you are. Open the site’s Events tab; the interactive monthly view displays dates, titles, and a color code that distinguishes academic, athletic, and cultural happenings. If you prefer a summarized feed, switch to the “Agenda” view, which lists events chronologically across the semester. This dual‑view setup lets you skim broad trends or dig into a specific day’s lineup.
Filter the Activities: Cut Through the Noise
- Category Filters: Select “Student Affairs,” “Arts & Humanities,” or “Research & Innovation” to narrow the scope. These categories match the university’s departmental focus.
- Location Filters: For on‑campus events, choose buildings like the University Center or Allen Library to see activities near your residence hall.
- Search by Keyword: If you’re hunting a lecture series on climate change, simply type “climate” and the system will surface related sessions.
After filtering, the calendar displays only the items that fit your interests. Save these customized views to revisit them without reapplying the filters each semester.
Stay Ahead with Notifications
UB’s calendar offers email alerts for new events and reminder notifications up to 48 hours before a scheduled activity. Enable the “Push Notifications” feature in the mobile app or opt in through the website’s “My Calendar” section. This ensures you never miss a last‑minute workshop or a guest speaker who’s just announced a date.
For a more visual cue, subscribe to the UB Events RSS feed. It streams updates directly into most news aggregators, keeping the calendar front‑and‑center even if you’re traveling abroad.
Connect the Dots: Social Media & Mobile Access
Many events are promoted through UB’s official social media channels. Follow @UBEvents on Instagram and Twitter; hashtags like #UBEvent and #UBLife tag real‑time posts. The accompanying image below shows the official UB social media icon—use this as a quick link to the latest event announcements.
When on campus, the UB Student Union’s digital kiosks also display a real‑time event feed. This is particularly useful for freshmen who might not yet be comfortable navigating the website. The kiosks refresh automatically, pulling the same data used in the online calendar.
Maximize Your Experience: Planning, Participation, and Feedback
- Plan Your Semester: Early in the academic year, download the PDF version of the calendar. It lists all major holidays, exam periods, and orientation dates—ideal for scheduling study time.
- Join the Conversation: After attending an event, submit a brief feedback form via the event’s page. Your input helps the university refine future programming.
- Share Your Own Events: Student groups can request calendar slots through the “Add Event” form, which is reviewed by the Events Office. This empowers student leadership and ensures diverse voices are represented.
To illustrate how the calendar fuels campus engagement, check out the 2022 virtual tour that garnered thousands of views on YouTube. The event’s thumbnail—showcasing the campus’s vibrant architecture—reminds us that each listing is a gateway to a richer university story.
By mastering the UB Events Calendar, you gain more than just dates; you build a dynamic connection to campus culture, academic opportunities, and community life. Stay organized, stay informed, and most importantly, stay engaged—because every event is a chance to shape your UB experience.
