Portrait of Kiana-Edith Robinson
Kiana-Edith Robinson
BS in Accounting

“UB has given me many opportunities that, without coming here, I wouldn’t have had. I joined many organizations on campus and worked toward making a difference in my community. I met people who helped me relay students’ voices to make changes and bring attention to things on campus. As part of the Accounting program, I formed close relationships with my peers and professors, who helped me land a position with a company after graduation. I’m very grateful for the experiences and opportunities during my time at UB, and I hope I made just as big of an impact on my peers as they have on me.”
