UB Late Night was designed by UB Student Affairs to give UB students a chance to unwind after their busy weeks, on-campus. The program provides them with fun student-generated events in an alcohol-free environment.
The program is open to all UB students whether they live on- or off-campus. Programs take place 10 pm to 2 am every Friday night during the semester. In addition, there are other alcohol-free events most Thursdays and Saturday nights. Most events are free to UB students.
From dance parties to poker to New Year’s parties and movies, there’s something for everyone after 10 pm! Programs are hosted by student groups and university departments - and they all take place ON CAMPUS!
Student groups may apply for late-night programming grants of up to $300 to host late night events. In addition, students may join the late night listserv to learn about new programs.
