Greetings

 

Dear UB Family Members,
 
With the summer months now upon us, campus continues to buzz with activity! From the assorted kids’ camps to our UB Summer Scholars program celebrating another year of research; a steady stream of active academics and social offerings abound. And speaking of our Summer Scholars, be sure and follow their journey during the month of June on Instagram!

A few quick reminders for the summer:

  • You are invited! UB family members are invited to join us for our Family Receptions during Summer Orientation. In addition, any volunteers to serve as Family Representatives from Sophmore, Junior and Senior year would be greatly appreciated!
  • Join us! We are looking for representatives for our Family Council. The UB Family Council is an advisory board of parents and family members, which provides essential leadership and philanthropic support to UB. If you are interested in learning more about the UB Family Council or becoming a Family Representative for your student's class year please email us at family@bridgeport.edu or call 203.576.4133. You can always stay in touch with us and fellow UB family members through our Family Association Facebook page.

As always, please let us know if you have any questions, just email us at family@bridgeport.edu.

Hope to see you soon & have a wonderful summer!

Best regards,
