Restorative Justice Day
2016-04-29 09:00 - 17:00 | 146 & 148 Diefendorf Hall, NY, 14214
Restorative Justice Day is an educational forum providing insight into how communities, victims, and offenders can come together to repair harm that may have occurred. In stark contrast to retributive systems at hand, Restorative Justice provides a voice and platform for those that have inflicted or have been impacted by harm to come together to create just solutions.
Results from Restorative Justice practices have led to decreased recidivism rates and community members and victims feeling safer and more connected to their communities.
Come hear guest speakers, learn facilitation strategies, and see how Restorative Justice is being utilized at our university and throughout Buffalo. As university students, we are uniquely positioned to be the next implementers of Restorative Justice practices in creating a more just, connected, and safer Buffalo for all. Come be a part of this growing movement and learn how you can be involved at our university and throughout the Buffalo community!

Pharmaceutical Sciences Symposium
2016-05-03 | Kapoor Hall, Buffalo, NY, United States
Pharmaceutical Sciences Symposium
Date: May 3, 2016
Cost: Free
Venue: Kapoor Hall, Buffalo NY
Organizer: Pharmaceutical Sciences GSA
The “12th Annual Pharmaceutical Sciences Distinguished Alumni Symposium” is an information exchange exercise wherein students will discuss their research with a prominent UB Pharmaceutical Sciences alumnus, who will also present a keynote speech. This year we have chosen to recognized Dr. Brian Booth as our distinguished alumni of 2016. Dr. Booth was a post-doctoral fellow in Dr. Ho-Leung Fung’s lab and is currently deputy director at the US Food and Drug Administration, FDA (Division of Clinical Pharmacology V FDAOTSOCP) in Washington D.C. It is with great honor and privilege to invite Dr. Booth back to meet with the students and department to share his experiences and success from the FDA. Current students will have the opportunity to meet individually and in groups with Dr. Booth to discuss research, network, and learn more about opportunities in FDA. Also, a formal Professional Development luncheon will be hosted by Dr. Booth where graduate students will have the opportunity to develop alumni relationships and to inquire about his experiences in FDA. The keynote speech will be of interest to graduate students from a variety of discipline including, but not limited to, Biological Sciences, Pharmacy, RPCI, Pharmacology/Toxicology, Chemistry, and Chemical Engineering. We firmly believe that affording the graduate students the opportunity to meet and interact with a distinguished scholar will enhance their graduate student experience and inspire them to strive for similar success.
Event Sponsors: Pharmaceutical Sciences GSA, UB-AAPS Student Chapter, UB Pharmaceutical Science Department, Chemical and Biological Engineering GSA, Pharmacology and Toxicology GSA and UB GSA.
