Speakers Bureau

Welcome to the University at Buffalo’s Division of Athletics Speakers Bureau, where a wealth of information, knowledge and expertise in NCAA Division I athletics is available for your group’s next meeting.

In support of the overall mission of the University, the Division of Athletics’ speakers bureau has been developed as a community outreach program in order to inform and heighten awareness of the many facets of the Division I athletics.

Our speakers are available for your group’s next meeting to discuss not only specific intercollegiate athletic programs, but the many ‘behind-the-scenes’ aspects of a Division I program such as academic services, marketing, compliance, etc.

 Here’s how to reserve a speaker
