Looking to be engaged with the community? Do you have an activity you would like to have at an event or looking to volunteer your time? For social, cultural and arts events, professional/career development or health & wellness initiatives, we have space for you. Get involved!

Community Engagement Fellowship

Two hands shaking forming the shape of a heart.

This fellowship provides an opportunity to develop leadership skills to advance equity and promote community engagement in institutional and community settings, and advance the Jacobs School’s mission to create a supportive learning environment.

Applicants will work with a primary mentor in the Jacobs School to address research questions focused on equity. 

We Want to Hear From You Initiative

Digital Library of Insightful Resources

We want to ask to our Jacobs School community to share resources that have been helpful in learning about health, culture, history or excellent books, movies, podcasts or articles that have made a difference in your life. A favorite place in Buffalo? We want to hear about it!. In this “Digital Library of Insightful Resources” we are sharing all your recommendations to encourage more engagement in what interests you to help creating an inclusive environment in our school and in our community.

All your suggestions will be featured in our Digital Library of Insightful Resources page. 

Thank you for being part of this initiative!
