President Joel Seligman
BIG PICTURE: President Joel Seligman got a broad view of the University from the tower of Rush Rhees Library during his first few days in office as Rochester’s 10th chief executive last July. As he introduced himself to the campus community and area business and government leaders, Seligman said building the University’s resources, emphasizing diversity, raising Rochester’s national profile, and cementing ties with the Greater Rochester area are among his priorities. “I’m going to be a president who works very hard to make this the strongest possible University I can,” he said. “But I also want to be the best possible neighbor to a great city and a great community.”
