Dear Alumni and Friends,
Spring is in the air, and with the season comes a new edition of
Buffalo Business. This issue is a testament to the innovation, resil-
ience and global impact that define the School of Management.
Our cover story, "Climate Innovation," explores how businesses,
faculty and alumni are addressing the pressing challenges of
climate change. From groundbreaking research in sustainable
investments to innovative risk management strategies, the stories
on pages 8-13 showcase how we are turning challenges into oppor-
tunities for impactful change.
This issue also celebrates the launch of three new centers at the
School of Management — the Center for AI Business Innovation,
the Center for Marketing Analysis and the Center for Supply Chain
Analytics. On page 2, you can read how these centers are bridging
academia and industry, advancing research, providing transforma-
tive education and creating opportunities for societal impact.
Our Projects Clinic is now in its second year, and the stories on
pages 18 and 19 showcase how the clinic is delivering value for our
students and partner organizations.
We welcomed 17 distinguished new faculty members to the school
this fall, and on page 14 you can read how their expertise and vision
will enhance our ability to prepare students for the demands of an
evolving business landscape.
As always, we are inspired by the achievements of our alumni,
whose leadership spans industries and continents. Whether
driving innovation at Goldman Sachs, promoting resilience in
climate-vulnerable communities or leading iconic campaigns
at PepsiCo, their stories exemplify the power of a UB School of
Management education.
Thank you for your continued support and engagement. Together,
we are shaping a brighter, more sustainable future.
Best regards,
Ananth Iyer
Dean
