BUFFALO, N.Y. -- William R. Greiner, former president and provost and current law professor at the University at Buffalo, will discuss a new book, "Location, Location, Location . . . a Special History of the University of/at Buffalo," that he co-authored with SUNY Distinguished Service Professor Thomas E. Headrick at UB Downtown to be held from noon to 1:15 p.m. April 2 in Chef's Restaurant.

The program will be sponsored by the UB Alumni Association and the UB School of Management Association.

Greiner, who joined the UB Law School faculty in 1967, will provide a glimpse into UB's past and will detail the events and the planning that resulted in the university's move to Amherst rather than to the Buffalo waterfront, or an expansion of the South Campus.

The cost of the program is $16 per person and $14 for UB Alumni Association or School of Management Alumni Association members, who may bring one guest at the member cost. Copies of the book are available for $10 and $12.50.

Registration is available at the UB Alumni Association Web site at http://www.alumni.buffalo.edu/ or by calling 645-3312. Payment must be made at the time of registration.
