UB Brand Compliance Request
University Communications has been working to ensure brand compliance when it comes to institutional trademarks, both in name and visual applications. We periodically monitor usage among all members of the UB community, including any initiatives of faculty, staff or students. This is to avoid any legal issues using protected trademarks unofficially, as well as limit possible confusion between student and administrative or academic programming.
We are therefore requesting all student groups to monitor their properties, including websites, social media platforms, UBLinked profile listing, merchandise, and any other platforms or visuals that reference the club’s name to confirm trademarks are being used correctly and take the appropriate actions to correct any brand infringements.
Specifically, by October 1, all student groups must verify the following and take corrective action, if necessary:
- Review/correct club name
- Read through student club naming guidance
- Do not use University at Buffalo or UBuffalo in club name
- Review/correct club mark or logo
-
- Read through student club guidance
- The spirit mark template is the only permissible trademark for use in club logos
- If the club does not use the template, remove any other trademarks in club logo

Shifting Tides: The Past, The Present, and The Future of Black Literary Archives
Join the Scholars for the Preservation of the Black Literary Archive on a sensory voyage through time to examine black literary archives’ past, present, and future at the University at Buffalo. This show honors the accomplishments of black authors and invites visitors to engage in more in-depth conversations on the representation of black identity in the archive, both in terms of its material and immaterial presence as well as its absence. What demands do we impose on the historical artifacts that contain or suppress black subjectivity? What are our expectations regarding the form or legibility of these objects? What predictions can be made regarding the intergenerational processes that will continue to shape the presence of black writers in future literary lifecycles? In this archival exhibition, we will investigate these and other concerns.
Location: Poetry Collection of the UB Libraries
420 Capen Hall, Buffalo, NY 14260
Opening Reception: Tuesday, May 9, 2023, 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm
