Welcome Message from the Vice-Provost and Dean

Welcome to the University at Buffalo’s Pan-Am 2001 web site.  It serves several purposes: by listing the University’s unique resources that spotlight the Pan-American Exposition of 1901, by providing information regarding the University’s important presence at the Exposition, and by informing the school body, as well as the public, of the wide range of activities taking place within the campus community during 2000/2001 to commemorate the Exposition’s centennial celebration. 

Most significantly, the Pan-Am 2001 project will serve as a means for developing further  interdisciplinary collaboration within the University and the Buffalo community.  Here one can find primary source materials from the University Library and Archives, such as graphics and first-hand interviews of those who attended the 1901 Exposition, as well as a calendar of University events and UB course listings that are utilizing the Pan-American Exposition as subject matter.  In particular, I would like to point you to the University’s development of a three-dimensional model of the Exposition that is being created in our Media Studies department by our own students. 

Our intention is to celebrate both the historic event and the opportunities that the spirit of the Exposition brings.  I hope you will join the University at Buffalo and our community in commemorating the Pan-American Exposition’s centennial and a longstanding commitment of the University at Buffalo to the people of Western New York.

Vice Provost for Academic Affairs and Dean of the Graduate School, 2001
