Reaching others<br />
January 2009<br />
Dear <strong>UB</strong> Today readers,<br />
Here <strong>at</strong> the <strong>University</strong> <strong>at</strong> <strong>Buffalo</strong>, we’re working every day to improve how we serve our<br />
students, our alumni <strong>and</strong> the many communities we reach in New York St<strong>at</strong>e <strong>and</strong> around<br />
the world.<br />
Our efforts include taking a c<strong>are</strong>ful look <strong>at</strong> <strong>wh<strong>at</strong></strong>, how <strong>and</strong> when we communic<strong>at</strong>e. We<br />
want to provide relevant, interesting <strong>and</strong> timely inform<strong>at</strong>ion to our more than 200,000<br />
alumni in 130 countries around the world. And we want to do it in ways th<strong>at</strong> meet your<br />
needs, while making w<strong>is</strong>e use of resources.<br />
The time <strong>is</strong> right for a fresh look <strong>at</strong> how we communic<strong>at</strong>e. There <strong>are</strong> more ways than<br />
ever to reach others. And the economic <strong>and</strong> environmental realities of our world require<br />
us to be good stewards.<br />
For these reasons, we have decided to not print a spring-summer 2009 <strong>is</strong>sue of th<strong>is</strong><br />
magazine. We intend to publ<strong>is</strong>h again in the fall.<br />
We <strong>are</strong> proud of <strong>UB</strong> Today, <strong>and</strong> we know you enjoy reading it as much as we enjoy<br />
bringing it to you.<br />
We very much want to stay connected with our loyal alumni <strong>and</strong> friends. We plan to<br />
keep publ<strong>is</strong>hing our monthly alumni e-mail newsletter—@ <strong>UB</strong>—<strong>and</strong> providing you with<br />
frequently upd<strong>at</strong>ed news <strong>and</strong> inform<strong>at</strong>ion on the alumni Web site <strong>at</strong> www.alumni.buffalo.<br />
edu.<br />
Please v<strong>is</strong>it us online—<strong>and</strong> be sure to give us your e-mail address if you have not<br />
already done so <strong>at</strong> www.alumni.buffalo.edu/contact.<br />
As part of <strong>UB</strong>’s ongoing efforts to improve all th<strong>at</strong> we do, we <strong>are</strong> working with our volunteer<br />
alumni leadership <strong>and</strong> colleagues from across the university to develop innov<strong>at</strong>ive,<br />
effective ways to keep our alumni informed.<br />
W<strong>at</strong>ch for some exciting new developments in the months to come.<br />
Thank you for your continued interest in, <strong>and</strong> support for, the <strong>University</strong> <strong>at</strong> <strong>Buffalo</strong>.<br />
