Long Island University
Long Island University (LIU) is a private, coeducational, nonsectarian institution of higher education with locations and programs spanning the New York metropolitan area, overseas, and online. The university offers more than 500 academic programs at two main campuses, LIU Post and LIU Brooklyn, as well as non-residential programs at LIU Brentwood, LIU Riverhead, and LIU Hudson at Rockland and Westchester. LIU has NCAA Division I and II athletics and hosts the annual George Polk Awards in Journalism. LIU has an active network of more than 180,000 alumni worldwide.
==History==
LIU was chartered in 1926 in Brooklyn by the New York State Education Department to provide “effective and moderately priced education” to people from “all walks of life.”〔(), Retrieved Dec. 19, 2015.〕 LIU Brooklyn is located in Downtown Brooklyn, at the corner of Flatbush and DeKalb Avenues. The main building adjoins the 1920s movie house, Paramount Theatre (now called the Schwartz Gymnasium), the building retains much of the original decorative detail and a fully operational Wurlitzer organ that rises from beneath the basketball court floorboards.〔http://brooklynrail.org/2012/10/local/a-relic-reborn〕 The campus consists of nine academic buildings; a recreation and athletic complex that includes Division I regulation athletic fields; one on-campus and two nearby residential buildings; and an adjoining parking facility. The campus is home to the university’s oldest school, LIU Pharmacy (Arnold & Marie Schwartz College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences), originally founded in 1891 as the Brooklyn College of Pharmacy,〔http://www.liu.edu/pharmacy〕 and LIU Global, a four-year bachelor’s degree program that allows students to live and study internationally in eight countries across eight semesters.〔http://www.liu.edu/global〕 LIU Brooklyn is home to the NCAA Division I Blackbirds,〔http://www.liuathletics.com〕 the renowned George Polk Awards for excellence in journalism,〔http://www.liu.edu/polk〕 and Kumble Theater for the Performing Arts.
In 1951, recognizing the educational needs of the growing number of families moving to the suburbs, LIU purchased an estate known as Hillwood from cereal heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post and her third husband Joseph E. Davies.〔(L.I.U. TAKES OVER LONG ISLAND ESTATE )〕 Located in the town of Brookville on Long Island's Gold Coast, the original home, Warburton Hall, had been built by William A. Prime and was extensively renovated by Marjorie and her second husband Edward F. Hutton. Three years later, the campus was renamed C. W. Post, in honor of Marjorie Post's father. In 2012, the university launched a campaign that unified all campuses in name. C.W. Post is now LIU Post, the university's largest campus, at 307 acres of historic Gatsby-era mansions, gardens, athletic fields, art studios and performing arts space, broadcast television and radio stations, an on-campus sustainable energy facility, and the only on-campus equestrian facility on Long Island. LIU Post is home to the NCAA Division II Pioneers and Tilles Center for the Performing Arts.
On March 7, 2013, LIU named Kimberly R. Cline as its 10th president. Dr. Cline succeeded David J. Steinberg, who retired after 28 years as president in the summer of 2013. She is the first woman to lead the private, six-campus institution (which also includes LIU Hudson, LIU Riverbed, and LIU Brentwood).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.newsday.com/long-island/liu-names-first-female-chief-executive-kimberly-cline-1.4770595?cmpid=Breaking_News_newsletter )〕 Under her leadership, the university introduced several experiential learning programs that include student-run businesses on campus as well as startup incubators that give young entrepreneurs the support and space to collaborate, develop business plans, find investors, and grow ideas into small businesses.
