Statement from SUNY Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher on the Passing of John H. Marburger III

“On behalf of the entire SUNY community I want to extend my most sincere condolences to the family of John H. Marburger III. Jack's stalwart leadership as president of Stony Brook University from 1980 to 1994 and his subsequent association with Brookhaven National Laboratory took Stony Brook to new and unprecedented levels. Stony Brook University Hospital is the leading, world-class facility that it is today in large part because of Jack's expansive vision and guidance. Generations of students and patients will continue to benefit immeasurably from his intellectual largesse. There is no overestimating Jack's achievements and contributions to higher education and life-improving research. We at SUNY are incredibly proud and grateful to count him among our ranks.”
