Paul Burgett, University dean, vice president, and ambassador, remembered

“No person in the worldwide University of Rochester community is more beloved than Paul Burgett.

A musician, scholar, teacher, and University leader for more than half a century, Burgett is being affectionately remembered for his longstanding commitment to the University community, the city of Rochester and beyond.
