Biography
William F. Gaske is a Syracuse University graduate from the class of 1972.
Gaske graduated with a B.A. from the College of Arts and Sciences. While at Syracuse University, he studied abroad at the University’s center in Florence, Italy and was a member of the Zeta Psi fraternity. After graduation, Gaske received his M.A. in arts administration from New York University in 1984 and his J.D. from Fordham University Law School in 1990. Gaske then worked as a counsel to non-profit and tax-exempt organizations.
As an alumnus, Gaske remains active in the Syracuse University community, having served as a Library Associate and a member of the Library Advisory Board. One of his interests has been to collect postcards related to Syracuse University.
