The Upstate Chapter of the American Planning Association presented its 2009 Comprehensive Planning Award to “The Olmsted City—The Buffalo Olmsted Park System: Plan for the 21st Century” produced by the UB Urban Design Project (UDP). This is the fifth award the plan has received. The UDP is a research center in the School of Architecture and Planning directed by Robert Shibley, professor of urban and regional planning. The award was presented last week at the chapter’s annual meeting in Albany.

William E. Boden, professor of medicine, has been named to the D’Youville College Board of Trustees. Boden also serves as medical director of cardiovascular services at Kaleida Health System and chief of cardiology at Buffalo General and Millard Fillmore hospitals.

UB faculty members Michael G. Caty and Kevin J. Gibbons received “Spirit Awards” at the 2009 Kaleida Ball, the signature fundraiser of the Kaleida Health Foundation. The physicians were recognized for their significant and spirited support of Kaleida Health and for helping to improve the health of the Western New York community. Caty is professor of surgery and pediatrics, and surgeon in chief at Women and Children’s Hospital of Buffalo; Gibbons is vice chair and associate professor of neurosurgery and director of the UB neurosurgery residency program, as well as director of neurocritical care for Millard Fillmore Gates Hospital.
