Message from the dean
Iyer
Dear Alumni and Friends,
As our fall semester begins and we conclude our centennial celebration, we turn our focus to the future of the School of Management and our latest issue of Buffalo Business magazine.
Our cover story, “AI in Your Workplace,” explores the transformative impact of artificial intelligence on various business sectors. As AI reshapes industries, our faculty and alumni are at the forefront, engaging in groundbreaking research and implementing innovative solutions to deliver impact.
Additionally, this issue highlights our ongoing global engagement and commitment to social impact. Our feature on a recent trip to Ghana showcases how interdisciplinary collaborations across UB are fostering meaningful experiences for our students and faculty, as they work alongside local leaders and communities to put research into action and drive social innovation and leadership.
You can also read about the achievements of our alumni and students as they make significant contributions in their fields — from Kendra Brim, MBA ’19, who is leading diversity and inclusion initiatives in the business world, to the innovative entrepreneurs winning our Panasci Technology Entrepreneurship Competition. Their stories and others throughout the magazine reflect the diverse and impactful paths our graduates pursue.
We remain focused on providing our students with the conceptual and technical skills they need, as well as the experiential opportunities that will enable them to be successful in a rapidly evolving business landscape. Our commitment to innovation, leadership and global impact remains steadfast, and we look forward to collaborating on this journey with all of you.
Thank you for your continued support and engagement with the UB School of Management. Together, we will shape the next century of success and transformation.
Best regards,
Ananth Iyer
Dean
