Biographical Note
Dr. William H. (Bill) Huber was the founder of University College at the University of New Mexico and served as its first dean. He was born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on April 18, 1922. Earning his L.L.B. at Ohio State University in 1947, he moved to Albuquerque with his wife Sarah and began teaching business law at UNM’s College of Business Administration that same year.
