Milton Plesur Award

The Student Association recognizes the vital and fundamental role that the quality of education plays in the mission of the University. Often, there are no greater heroes or leaders than the ones we can proudly call our teachers, and many times they are not publicly recognized for their outstanding achievements.

In an effort to encourage, enhance, and reward the teaching at UB, the Student Association is seeking the nominations of undergraduate teachers who have inspired, excited, or had a positive and memorable effect on you as a student. These are the teachers who bring an added spark of enthusiasm into the classroom, who fuel an atmosphere of creativity and participation. This is YOUR chance to say thank you... Don't miss out.

Anyone teaching undergraduate classes, and has not won the award within the past five (5) years, is eligible. This gives all deserving teachers a chance to be nominated.
