Gregory Baker Wolfe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gregory Baker Wolfe (born Los Angeles, California) was a United States diplomat during the Kennedy and Johnson administrations, and later President of two urban institutions of higher education, Portland State University in Portland, Oregon, and Florida International University (FIU) in Miami, Florida.
Wolfe was president of FIU from 1979 through 1986, during which time he oversaw significant growth as the university progressed from being an exclusively upper-division school (having no freshman or sophomores) to becoming a four year college granting post-graduate degrees. The Florida State Legislature recognized Wolfe's contributions to the growth and emergence of FIU by naming the Gregory Baker Wolfe University Center, located on the university's Biscayne Bay Campus, in his honor.
