Albert Joseph Simone (born December, 1935 in Boston, Massachusetts) is a former president of Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) and the University of Hawaiʻi System.
Simone earned his Bachelor of Arts in economics from Tufts in 1957, and his PhD in economics from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1962.
He served as dean of the College of Business Administration at the University of Cincinnati from 1972 to 1983.
After the retirement of Fujio Matsuda, Simone was both Chancellor of the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa and President of the University of Hawaiʻi System from 1984 to 1992. As President at Mānoa, Simone lobbied for greater independence from the Hawaiian legislature's control in order to retain accreditation. During his tenure, the university consolidated departments, research institutes and federal cooperative programs from different parts of campus into the School of Ocean and Earth Sciences and Technology, a leading education and research resource.[1]
He became president of Rochester Institute of Technology on September 1, 1992, succeeding Thomas R. Plough.[2][3] His tenure at RIT saw additional PhD programs (in microsystems engineering, computing and information sciences, and color science) inaugurated and improvements made to RIT's athletic program (such as the construction of the Gordon Field House and Activities Center and the elevation of the men's hockey team to Division I).
He retired from Rochester Institute of Technology on July 1, 2007, succeeded by William W. Destler.[4]
June 15, 2007 was proclaimed Albert J. Simone Day in Rochester and Monroe County.[5]
Simone served as a Class C director of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York from January 2000 to January 2003.

>> (dt ogilvie) Hi, I'm dt ogilvie, the new dean of Saunders. >> [DENNY DELEO) dt, I'm Denny DeLeo; I'm delighted to meet. >> (dt ogilvie) My pleasure. >> (RICHARD DEMARTINO) This is the Saunders College Summer Start Up program and the Summer Start Up program is unique. We are the only program in the country that is an accelerator in the model of tech stars-in basically taking a group of people for three months, taking an early stage idea, advancing that idea and then having a presentation at the end of it. Hopefully bringing the teams as close to investment ready as we can. >> (RICHARD NOTARGIACOMO) Summer Start Up is a chance to grow your business in this 10-week, 11-week session that we've got with mentors and subject matter experts helping people along. >> (AMISON ABSTON) Pretty much what we do is to provide RFID and wireless solutions to problems such as, well in this instance, hand washing compliance. So pretty much Clean Tag monitors hand washing compliance and it can have possible applications and one major application would be in hospitals. >> (JEREMY PITZERUSE) My name is Jeremy Pitzeruse and I am the founder and CEO of Attaché. >> (MICHAEL PEECHATT) Everyone, my name is Michael Peechatt and I'm the chief operating officer of our company. And I'm here to talk about Attaché, the new resume. Attaché is a Web application that will completely change the way you think about resume development and resume maintenance. >> (STUDENT ANSWERING QUESTION) And we can't sell them at a higher price so we have these margins because we have to keep it to the college student affordable. >> (ROBERT KURST) The end goal is to satisfy the client. So the accountant is not performing for the role of IT consultant. He is instead just getting the documents he needs and making quick returns. >> (KAYLA WHEELER) We are designing and creating a head gear to reduce the severity of concussions in youth athletes. So, the problem. Why did we choose concussions? The Center for Disease Control has considered concussions to be a very real epidemic. And parents are becoming more and more concerned about their kids playing sports and getting concussions and becoming more aggressive as they grow up and get older. >> (ANTHONY TESTA) The impressive things that we saw over the past 11 weeks is the evolution of the teams-where we started with sometimes immature concepts, immature business dynamics and team structures and really evolved their thinking about how the customers might use the product, how the product should be launched into the market, financial projections, just really an entire array of the basics of starting a business.
