William J. Stanley III, Arch 72, was elected chancellor of the College of Fellows of the American Institute of Architects. He will be inaugurated in December at a black-tie dinner in Washington, DC. Stanley previously served as bursar and vice-chancellor of the college. “Being elected by my peers to the highest office of the most elite group in my profession is perhaps the greatest professional recognition that one can obtain,” he said. “It is a culmination of a life of service to the profession.”
Stanley is the founder and principal for design of the firm Stanley, Love-Stanley, which oversaw construction of the Georgia Tech Aquatic Center and O’Keefe Gymnasium, among other notable projects. Stanley, who was the first black graduate of Tech’s College of Architecture, remains closely involved with the Institute. He was a founder of the Office of Minority Education Development and the Georgia Tech Black Alumni Organization. He and his wife, Ivenue Love-Stanley, Arch 77, were elected as Georgia Tech Legacies by GTBAO. They both have been members of ANAK, the Alumni Association Board of Trustees and the Georgia Tech Advisory Board.
