Since The Spectrum’s founding in 1950 as UB’s independent student news publication, thousands of students have come and gone.

Tumbling out of bed, I stumbled right into the Center for the Arts (CFA) for a performance of “9 to 5” presented by UB’s Department of Theater and Dance. The show had stellar numbers, including outstanding vocal performances and dances and comical moments that had the crowd roaring with laughter.
When I was in Nepal visiting family in January, I remember being amazed at how very few people wore headphones while walking. I could count the amount of pedestrians I witnessed listening to music during my month-long trip on one hand. Already feeling removed as a foreigner, I thought this is something I can learn from. I decided that the only way I could fully experience my parents’ home was by committing to the sounds around me.
There was no shortage of success for UB’s outdoor track team at the Mid-American Conference (MAC) championships this past weekend.
