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.” |
