President (1977-2003) of the non-profit Community Systems Foundation (CSF), Bill traveled worldwide helping private agencies, governments and the United Nations improve the management of child and family health, nutrition, and development affairs.

Bill�s unfailing optimism, perseverance, and joy of living explain his success in starting new ventures.  He was an inspiration to countless students and to his many friends.
He was a joy to know.

Community Systems Foundation and Friends of CSF donated the funds to dedicate this room as a surrogate for Bill�s true classroom: the world.
