Honorees-
Shirley & Edward Glanz

The late Edward Glanz served as founding provost of the Southampton Campus of Long Island University from 1963 to 1972. Dr. Glanz whose distinguished career also included chairing the Department of Psychology and Guidance at Boston University, was chosen to guide the establishment of the new East End branch of the University in 1962. He settled in Southampton with his wife, Shirley, and his two sons. Mrs. Glanz’ active involvement in the campus and the surrounding community was instrumental in creating the caring environment that the College is known for to this day. Dr. Glanz was named president of the campus in 1969. Under his leadership, Southampton nearly doubled in acreage and more than tripled its student enrollment.

Following his success at Southampton, Dr. Glanz continued his affiliation with the University, teaching psychology at the C.W. Post Graduate School of Education from 1974 until his death in 1986. The Glanz family’s longstanding association with the University lives on through Dr. Glanz’ daughter-in-law, Diane Glanz, who graduated cum laude from Southampton College in 1990.
