Stony Brook University introduced its fifth president, Dr. Samuel Stanley Jr., at a press conference Tuesday afternoon. Although the MD will not assume the post until July 1, the day after President Shirley Strum Kenny retires, the transition is underway.
The press conference immediately followed a meeting of the State University of New York Board of Trustees, held at SBU at 1 pm, to formally approve the appointment of Dr. Stanley.
The current vice chancellor for research at Washington University in St. Louis was joined by his family to accept the appointment. His wife, Dr. Ellen Li, is a renowned gastroenterologist who SBU Medical Center is working to add to its faculty. SUNY Trustee Michael Russell said he is "confident" Dr. Li will join the staff of SBUMC.
The Stanley's four children, Jim, Susan, Katie and Samuel III, sat to the side of the podium with their mother beaming as Dr. Stanley was lauded by speaker after speaker.
The SUNY Chancellor-designate, Nancy Zimpher, was also on hand to take part in the announcement, as was a smiling President Kenny, entering the last two months of her 15-year stint as SBU's leader.
