Student groups wrap up the year, in person
Putting the worst of pandemic isolation behind us, UB Law students made the very most of this spring’s year-end gatherings and celebrations. Some of the law school’s best-loved traditions were back—live and in person!—and our students were ready to celebrate. Here’s a round-up of the highlights, with photos, of this welcome return to form.
OUTLaw Dinner, March 11
The law school’s student group focused on supporting LGBTQ+ students and their allies held its annual dinner at Shea’s Seneca in downtown Buffalo. The group spotlighted the work of GLYS WNY, which supports LGBTQ+ young people and their families.
