AMHERST, N.Y. -- At its September meeting, the Daemen College Board of Trustees appointed Terrence M. Gilbride as a trustee.     

A partner in the real estate development practice at Hodgson Russ LLP, Gilbride also serves as leader of the firm’s college and university practice and the public-private partnerships practice.

Gilbride regularly counsels colleges and universities on a variety of capital projects, including student housing, classroom and educational buildings, and research laboratories. He has represented a number of SUNY institutions as well as Penn State University, and he has helped the Georgia Board of Regents close a half billion dollar public-private housing transaction, which in 2015 was the largest ever collegiate student housing transaction in the United States. 

“We are delighted to have Mr. Gilbride join the Daemen Board of Trustees,” said Chairman Thomas Stewart. “He brings a great deal of talent and experience to our first-rate governing board.”

Gilbride is a magna cum laude graduate of St. Bonaventure University, and he earned a law degree cum laude from the University at Buffalo School of Law.        

He resides in Amherst.
