Alternative Spring Break is a local alternative for students to take part of during their Spring Break. Students apply and are selected to take part in a week long initiative to help make the Buffalo community a safer and better place. Students will take part in a number of volunteer opportunities, as well as social and educational activities throughout the week. This program requires an application and interview with a staff member from the SLCE. All students selected to participate will be provided on-campus housing.
This program is a great way to give back your local community, get to know other people, continue to grow as a leader and work as a team. This year’s Alternative Spring Break program will take place during the week of March 8-14.

READY @ UB (Researching, Exploring and Developing Yourself) is a program sponsored and supported by Student Advising Services housed at the University at Buffalo. I am a graduate assistant advisor at the center and am working closely with our peer assistant, Caitlin, to lead this group. We are offering UB undergraduate students with a unique experience to engage in conversations with other UB students who are undecided or confused about majors, thinking about changing majors, or have any other questions or concerns regarding majors and careers. This is not a lecture-based program. Our belief is students will benefit from a discussion-based group where you talk about your own experiences to learn from each other, as well as realize being unsure or confused completely normal and very common among students. Ultimately, we will provide a relaxed environment (with FREE FOOD and PRIZES) where you can come and feel comfortable while discussing majors and careers! We are not afraid of going off on tangents, but we do have some topics of discussion we thought you might be interested in. Here are some ideas:
READY @ UB begins Wednesday, February 6th from 12pm – 1pm in 210 Student Union. We will meet every Wednesday through April 20th (except March12th). Each week we will be bouncing between 2 rooms in the Student Union, so please take a look at the schedule below so you are aware of which room we will be in each week:
