On Saturday, April 21, the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus will host the 4^th annual open house.  Middle and high school students and their families will visit various entities on the BNMC, including UB, Roswell Park, Kaleida Health, UNYTS, Hauptman Woodward, and more.  Each location has an activity or demonstration planned for participants.  We are looking for volunteers to help guide people around the campus and within buildings.  They will not act as “tour guides,” as it is a self-guided tour, but will be placed around the campus to answer questions about how to get to certain locations.  Within buildings, we also need a few volunteers to stand in lobbies to open doors and lead people to elevators.
