Midnight Breakfast  Twas' the night before finals

when all through UB, not a student was stirring, could it really be?

 

The halls were all quiet and campus serene,

students hoped that their focus would be 

noticed by the dean.

 

With a little more studying

and cracking your books

we know you'll do well,

you'll be more than a rook.

 

Believe in yourself and know you are bright.

Do well on your finals, be a proud 

PURPLE KNIGHT!

 

This will be the final Purple Knight Weekly of the Fall semester.  The staff and faculty of the University of Bridgeport would like to wish everyone a safe and successful finals week and winter break.  

 myCampus survey

I am pleased to invite you to participate in the myCampus survey, an important component of the master planning process underway at UB this year. Prepared by Sasaki Associates in collaboration with members of the Facilities Master Planning Committee, the myCampus survey will provide vital information to help us shape the future development of the University of Bridgeport campus.

We want to understand how members of the community use the campus today, to address needs in the future. Where do you study? Where do you socialize? Where do you eat?

The data from this survey will contribute to the master plan that will provide a roadmap for the physical campus for the years and decades ahead. This study will address needs related to academic space, residential and campus life, general campus connectivity, and will explore the ways in which the campus interacts with broader Bridgeport community. Survey responses are entirely anonymous, and participation from a broad range of the University community is critical to the success of our planning efforts.

The survey will take only 15-20 minutes. Please note that while it can be completed on mobile devices, the best user experience will be on a desktop or laptop computer. Please click here to access an interactive map and get started.
