Please consider joining our team here in beautiful Western NY.  Buffalo is known as the City of Good Neighbors with four seasons, Canada is just a few minutes drive away, professional sports, well respected symphony, vibrant arts and music scene and more wonderful architecture than many major cities.  Recreation opportunities abound as do culturals.  The university is a key economic driver for the area.  Did I mention the food?  There are lot more great foods to try beyond chicken wings!   Just ask me off list. 😊  As we approach Bloomsday, did you know that the UB Libraries Special Collections holds the manuscript of Ulysses?  Looking forward to seeing many qualified applicants.

Thank you for your consideration.
