Community Engagement Fair

The Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences opens its doors to the community. Our inaugural Community Engagement Fair: Neighbors Helping Neighbors, offers a space to bring together local organizations and a wide variety of community members. Organizations can educate the community about their work, and community members will get the chance to offer their assistance (through volunteering time and resources) and engage in meaningful work for causes they are passionate about.

March 23, 2023 - 2nd Floor Atrium - 2-5 p.m.

Community members from the University at Buffalo, the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, and surrounding areas will be invited to visit the second floor atrium of the Jacobs School building where local organizations will provide education about the needs of our community and ways to get involved.

If you would like to showcase your organization and the opportunities you offer, please register below to reserve a space.
