Thomas E. Headrick, a professor and former dean of the law school, has
been named to the position of Senior Counselor by President William
E. Greiner.
	Though he expects to have a wide variety of projects to work
on, Headrick says one of his assignments will be "to provide more
interaction for President Greiner with the faculty and the
institution. His responsibilities require a lot of his attention
outside the university, but he is very conscious of not losing touch
with the people here."
	Headrick, who has been at UB since 1976, began his new duties
in the President's office a little over two weeks ago. Last fall,
Headrick served as acting dean of the law school while Dean Barry
Boyer was on sabbatical. Previously, he held the law school posts of
dean, from 1976-1985, and associate dean for academic services, from
1992-1994. He will continue to teach a limited number of courses in
the law school.
	Before coming to UB, Headrick was vice president for academic
affairs at Lawrence University in Wisconsin and assistant dean of
Stanford Law School. In 1993, he was named a Distinguished Service
Professor by the SUNY Board of Trustees, the highest academic rank
available in the state university system.
Headrick received his undergraduate degree from Franklin and Marshall
College in Lancaster, Pa., his law degree from Yale University and his
doctorate in political science from Stanford University. Headrick was
also a Fulbright Scholar at Oxford University from 1956-58.
