Today, I was delighted to deliver my final State of the University address and declare, with deep pride, that the state of our university is strong! Over the years, #UBuffalo has approached everything we do in a spirit of solidarity, making all things possible for our great university.

Today, I announced that I will be stepping down as #UBuffalo president in July of 2026 and returning to my faculty role. It has been a true honor to serve as UB’s 15th president. Read my message to the UB community here: www.buffalo.edu/president/fr...

It was wonderful to welcome my longtime friend Bill Sanders to our #UBuffalo campus today. I was delighted to have the opportunity to catch up and congratulate him in person on starting his tenure as the 11th president of @rittigers.bsky.social!

Thank you to @governor.ny.gov, @seanryanforbuffalo.bsky.social and Assemblymember Karen McMahon for exploring #UBuffalo’s latest AI innovations made possible by the supercomputing power of Empire AI. Together, we are advancing the AI technologies that will shape a better future for all New Yorkers.

What better way to celebrate the start of #UBuffalo's academic year than with free WNY staples like sponge candy, Cheerios & Perry’s ice cream? It was great to meet so many new students & see familiar faces on the first day of classes. Wishing all a rewarding semester!

I enjoyed chatting with our students and their families during #UBuffalo’s move-in day. With the start of the new academic year fast approaching, you can feel the excitement building across our UB community!

With #UBuffalo’s new Mobile Health Units, we will bring much-needed preventive services to our neighbors while enhancing our students' clinical education. Thank you to @reptimkennedy.bsky.social for your steadfast support of UB and the Mother Cabrini Health Foundation for your partnership.
