Portrait of Jaryee Cooper
Jaryee Cooper
BS in Business

“When I first joined UB, everyone was so nice and welcoming. I was given a mentor who communicates with me now and then to make sure I’m still on the right track. I was told that I could go to a building just for entrepreneurs like me to work on my business, free of charge! UB offers so much for a private school. You will have professors who actually care about your future and are willing to help you connect with the right people.”
