 Dr.
Rubenstein To Teach, Head New Institute
Focusing on the Holocaust
Our special thanks to Dr.
Richard L. Rubenstein who served UB well as our
President during his five year tenure. Those five
years, during which the PWPA joined with UB to
rebuild the University, were an often challenging
and turbulent time. President Rubenstein helped
steer a steady course and leaves the University
in much better condition than when he began his
term of office.
He will continue at UB, both as a faculty member
and as director of a new research institute here
focusing on the holocaust. He was recently named
to the steering committee of the British
foundation, "Remembering for the
Future," a group which hosts international
conferences for scholars studying the holocaust.
It is based in Oxford.
Dr. Rubenstein was extremely pleased to see Neil
Salonen take over his job. "The Board of
Trustees has worked with Neil Salonen for seven
years. They know him very well and have learned
to respect his abilities as an academic leader.
In their wisdom, they have chosen him as the
University of Bridgeport's next President. I hope
I left the institution in better and sounder
condition than when I arrived and I feel a
profound sense of gratitude that I had the
privilege to serve this institution as President.
I will continue to serve this institution for
many years to come and I look forward to working
under the new President, Neil Salonen. There
isn't another man or woman anywhere I'd rather
see as my successor," said Rubenstein.
