How do bright minds engineer brighter ideas?

Jonathan Garriques

FINDS EXCELLENCE EVERYWHERE AT UB: "You can feel an academic presence throughout, even in the social spaces."

It's an ideal environment for Jonathan, who recognizes real achievement begins with learning from others. "Excellence is when you're working in a group that pushes everyone to do better, because helping each other improve gets the most success in the end," he says. "Success comes from the community itself."

From the University Honors College (where Jonathan holds the distinction of being a Presidential Scholar) to classrooms and shared study spaces across campus, Jonathan has discovered what it really means to be part of the UB community.

The University Honors College at UB is a diverse learning community of high-achieving students whocrave challenges and seek opportunities to express their intellectual curiosity. As much a community as it is a curriculum, the Honors College is a home where outstanding individuals bond over a shared commitment to excellence, inclusion and civic engagement. Where people are as intensely engaged with learning as you are, and where you find a place to be extraordinary. If this sounds like your ideal college experience, learn more at honors.buffalo.edu.

"No one can know everything on their own. So be open, be social. There are people around you who can make a difference."
