I’m teaching a “Speed Reading & Memory Techniques” workshop for UB students.

The session will be customized for approaching textbooks and technical content more effectively.

This workshop is free to all UB students.

Because class space is limited, we are asking that students RSVP here:

The Graduate Student Association at the University at Buffalo stands in solidarity with the #NotAgainSU movement. We condemn the recent Racist and Anti-Semitic acts that have occurred at Syracuse University. All students deserve to feel safe in their campus communities, regardless of race, ethnicity, or religion. These acts of hatred have made these already marginalized populations fear for their safety and question the universities’ commitment to all students. We urge Syracuse University administration to meet all short-term and long-term demands of the #NotAgainSU movement. Syracuse University needs to take action to rectify the harms that have been committed towards students of color. We stand in solidarity with all students of color at Syracuse University and the #NotAgainSU movement.

In solidarity,
Jessy Coley, President
Connor Walters, Vice President
