The Prentice Family Foundation’s Western New York Prosperity Scholarship Program is designed to help build a highly educated, innovative and experienced professional workforce prepared to contribute to the economic growth and sustainability of the area. These scholarships will enable qualified juniors, seniors and graduate students in the UB schools of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Engineering and Applied Sciences, and Management to become better acquainted with career possibilities with the region’s businesses and industries.
More than 20 scholarships are expected to be granted, each with a maximum award of $25,000. The scholarships will cover students’ unmet costs to attend UB during the academic year and fund summer internships at leading companies and industries throughout the region.
The Western New York Prosperity Scholars will learn how to navigate the professional arena through participation in pre-internship preparation-and-placement programs, pre-professional networking events and career and academic counseling. They also will receive advice on admission to graduate school.
The 12-month scholarships will provide financial assistance to qualified UB students studying biomedical sciences, management and engineering who have demonstrated financial need and have educational, civic and professional plans that link directly to the economic growth and prosperity of the region. To be eligible for these scholarships, undergraduates must be at least junior-level at the time of the award, have earned a cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 or higher and have a demonstrated financial need via submission of the FAFSA form. Graduate students must be in excellent academic standing with a GPA of 3.5 or higher and have a demonstrated financial need via submission of the FAFSA form.
Applications must be submitted by April 15. For more information, go to http://wnyprosperityscholars.buffalo.edu/.
His Excellency Pierre Vimont, Ambassador of France to the United States, will be visiting the University at Buffalo (UB) on Wednesday, April 8, 2009. This is only the second time that a sitting French Ambassador has visited Buffalo. Ambassador Vimont will be accompanied by Ambassador Guy Yelda, the new Consul General of France to New York, and Dr. Pascal Delisle, Cultural Attaché and Director of the University Partnership Fund at the Embassy. This is truly a landmark event in the long history of France’s involvement in the Western New York and Niagara Region. We are most grateful to Pascal Soares, Honorary Consul of France in Buffalo, for making this visit possible.
You are cordially invited to attend Ambassador Vimont’s public lecture at UB titled “The United States and France and the Renewal of Transatlantic Relations,” which will be delivered at the Drama Theatre, Center for the Arts (CFA), UB North Campus on April 8 at 3:00 pm. A question and answer period will follow. You are also welcome to join the reception for our French guests immediately following the lecture in the CFA Atrium. Please be advised that if you will be coming to UB from off campus to attend the lecture and reception you should park in the Special Event Parking Lot, a section of which will be reserved for this event. Please bring a print-out of this invitation with you to show the parking attendant. Kindly refer to the North Campus map for the location of the Special Event Parking Lot: http://www.buffalo.edu/buildings/maps/NorthCampus.pdf
In conjunction with the Ambassador’s visit, University Libraries, in cooperation with Professor Jean-Jacques Thomas, the Melodia E. Jones Chair of French, has created a set of special exhibits on the role of France in the region and the study of French language and culture at UB. The exhibits are free and open to the public and will be on display from the beginning of April to mid-May.
An exhibit in Special Collections, 420 Capen Hall, is titled, “Marshall, Jones, and Park—French History and Culture and the University at Buffalo.” A second exhibit at Lockwood Library, “The Julian Park Collection: Rare Books Portray French History and Culture,” presents the extraordinary collection of Julian Park, son of Roswell Park and the founding dean of UB’s College of Arts and Sciences, who developed and nurtured French studies at UB, facilitated the establishment of the Melodia Jones Chair, and bequeathed his remarkable collection of French literature to the University. For exhibit hours, please consult the University Libraries website: http://library.buffalo.edu/

Better Business Studios and SCORE are teaming up to provide young student entrepreneurs with the chance to win more than $5,000.00 toward starting their own business or organization. The name of the event is Start Buffalo, and participating groups/individuals will present self-designed business plans to the judges, who include local business members and UB faculty. The group with the most well-designed business model will receive a comprehensive package including web development, marketing assistance, PR support, and more. Many local businesses and organizations will be represented, so the night will also serve as a space for more established Buffalonians to meet fresh local talent.
WHAT: Start Buffalo (www.startbuffalo.org) will bring together generations of Buffalonians to celebrate the achievements of both the young and the old. While the evening will highlight the ideas presented by young entrepreneurs, the plans will be critiqued through the lens of a more experienced panel. The convergence will foster a dialogue among students and reputable leaders in education, business, and non-profits in WNY. This interaction will satisfy one of SCORE’s basic tenets: to promote the support and growth of small businesses nationwide.

WHERE: Buffalo Marriott Niagara 1340 Millersport Highway, Amherst, NY. Near UB.

While money is valuable, experienced consultation is an integral part of any business’s initial success. Start Buffalo will provide a venue for experienced individuals to identify new talent and to see where the future of business may be headed. It will also give entrepreneurs from UB the chance to heed the advice of more established community members and to showcase their entrepreneurial talent.
