Memorial service for Greiner is Feb. 2
UB will hold a public memorial service for former President William R. Greiner at 3 p.m. Feb. 2 in the Center for the Arts, North Campus. A reception will follow.
The death of UB’s 13th president on Saturday has elicited an outpouring of emotion from colleagues, students, friends and supporters, who recall his personal warmth, love of teaching, pursuit of excellence and tireless advocacy on behalf of UB.
The Greiner family is deeply appreciative of the condolences received from people from all over the world.
The family gratefully declines flowers. For those who wish to make a contribution in memory of Professor Greiner, the family has identified three campus programs that held special importance to him: the Center for the Arts, UB athletics and the William R. Greiner Scholarship Fund. The fund, established in his honor in 2004, supports an endowment for a full-tuition scholarship to the UB Law School for a meritorious student who exemplifies leadership ability, dedication to public service and commitment to the Western New York community as a whole.
Those planning to attend the Feb. 2 event should RSVP.
