Former president retires from UB |

“I was hoping to continue the next stage of my career in my mentoring role,” said Greiner, 75, who up until his retirement was still active in the classroom, despite health concerns and a multiple bypass surgery. “We’ll see. I just have to focus on feeling better.” Last year, Greiner published the thought-provoking book, Location, Location, Location, which chronicles factors leading to construction of UB’s North Campus in Amherst, and debunks the urban legend that the decision to build in Amherst, and not in Buffalo, was made for dubious or politically short-sighted reasons. For the past five years, Greiner has taught courses for the UB Law School and Graduate School of Education. Greiner’s list of accomplishments at UB includes launch of the most ambitious fundraising campaign in university and SUNY history, construction of state-of-the-art student residence halls, the establishment of several research institutes and research centers, and years of dedicating himself as a tireless and strategic administrator, as well as a beloved professor and mentor. “It is the people and careers I was able to help over the course of these many years at the university and in the community that is my proudest accomplishment,” said Greiner. “I’m most proud of the people we were able to advance. I helped recruit some of them and hold on to some of them, and I’m very proud of that.” He is known throughout the UB community for remaining true to his roots, driving a car with the license plate UB13, referring to his position as the university’s 13th president. While serving as president in the 1990s, he cultivated many of the Buffalo-UB alliances that have blossomed under the current Simpson administration at UB. Greiner’s affiliation with the university commenced in 1967, when he joined the faculty of the UB Law School. He served for seven years as the university’s first provost before his appointment as president in 1991. Throughout his more than 40 years of UB service, Greiner’s dedication and commitment to students was his trademark. UB gave its highest award, the Chancellor Charles Norton Medal, given for service to the university and the region, to Greiner at the May 2003 commencement ceremony. In 2004, UB founded the William R. Greiner Scholarship Fund in his honor. |
