UB Director of Athletics Warde Manuel will be one of the 15 staff members that will travel to the Hamlin Park School as the UB Athletics team will be responsible for helping the school remove writing throughout the school hallways and stairways, as well as helping them to wipe down the walls and lockers to provide a clean environment for the students.

The 15 staff members will be comprised of coaches, support staff and members of the administration as they work to make a better environment for the students when they return to classes in the fall.
