Have You Met?
Meet Pam Rose
Pam Rose has spent most of her life working in UB’s Health Sciences Library. She’s a fixture in many other local organizations, too, especially the Buffalo Zoo; Buffalo Humane; AniMeals, which feeds pets as part of Meals on Wheels; and Therapy Animals of Western New York (TAWNY). She’s also an avid gardener, and this year her gardens will be featured in the National Garden Festival’s Open Gardens.
Here is just a smattering of all there is to learn about Pam. »
