UB’s Alberti Center for Bullying Abuse Prevention takes on the challenges of bullying abuse and people with disabilities at its annual daylong conference on Sept. 29.
UB plans to launch its first academic, no-cost, “massive open online course” — or MOOC — this month on Coursera, the world’s largest, open, online education provider.
Many students’ higher education success stories start with a role model inspiring them to greatness. Leah Cabarga, one of UB’s recent Fulbright winners, is the opposite. Cabarga felt “like a shadow” during middle school and high school. So her formative moments are nothing less than finding her heart’s passion by overcoming that isolation and becoming the teacher-mentor she never had.
Africa Hands, assistant professor in the Department of Information Science, will study the unique challenges and cultural strengths of first-generation Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) professionals in the library and information science (LIS) field.
