Community Engagement Fair Initiative

The purpose of the Community Engagement Fair: Stronger Together is to showcase the work of organizations within our community, inspire the community to be part of an initiative that is making a difference, and establish connections that will enrich our community.

Date: Sept. 5, 2024 from 4–6 p.m.

Location: 2nd Floor Atrium - Jacobs School of Medicine - 955 Main St. Buffalo, NY 14302

Free and open to the public. The Jacobs School will host a wide range of organizations, and our community is invited to visit, and find the cause that will impact their own lives and the lives of others. If you would like to contribute one way or another to one of these organizations, please don’t miss this opportunity. 

Welcome to the Community Engagement Fair at the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences!

If you have any questions about the Community Engagement Fair, please contact Maria Wilson (716) 829-4345 or mlw29@buffalo.edu

How to Support Local Vendors at Your Department/Unit

We encourage your department or unit at the Jacobs School to consider working with local vendors for your catering, events, regular purchases and other needs.

It is easy, convenient, and you are giving back to the community when buying local.
