Community Engagement Opportunities
This new initiative provides opportunities for you to engage with various organizations from our surrounding community.
Community Engagement Fair Initiative - Halloween Night at Jacobs
This year join us for a special Community Halloween Night where our goal is to continue in the spirit of our annual community engagement fair and come together to connect, learn about your department/unit and network.
We will also have:
- organizations will educate the community about their work while engaging in hands-on activities for the whole family!
- prizes!
- dinner and treats for everyone!
Selected community organizations will be invited to table on the second floor atrium of the Jacobs School building where they will provide fun hands-on activities and educate our guests about the needs of our community and ways to get involved.
Everyone is invited to this family-friendly and free event.
Date: Oct. 30, 2025
Time: 5-7 p.m.
Location: 2nd floor - Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences - 955 Main St., Buffalo NY
If you have any questions about the Community Halloween Night, please contact Maria Wilson 716-829-4345 or mlw29@buffalo.edu
Participate in Community Events
We encourage you to engage with the community through events happening in Buffalo. Whether you belong to a department or unit or want to volunteer as an individual or a group, we want your presence at these events. Have an event that is not posted here? Please submit it!
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.
