Since joining the UB School of Architecture and Planning in 1982, he has served as professor in both the architecture and planning departments, with eight years as chair in architecture (1982-1990). He was appointed dean in 2011.
Founding The Urban Design Project (UDP) in 1990, Shibley has since led the development of nationally award-winning plans for Buffalo's downtown, waterfront, Olmsted parks system, and the city's comprehensive plan, its first in over 30 years. Through UDP, Shibley served as principal investigator on the Larkin District Master Plan, Niagara Heritage Area Resource Study and Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus Plan. Most recently he led the UB Regional Institute/UDP team in the creation of the Western New York Regional Economic Development Plan yielding $ 100 million in additional state support for the region.
As UB's Senior Advisor to the President for Campus Planning and Design, and now as its first Campus Architect, Shibley led an ambitious comprehensive plan – the university's first master plan since creation of the North Campus in the 1970s – to enhance the competitiveness of UB's three campus centers, a critical piece of the UB 2020 strategic plan. He also led the development of UB's Climate Action Plan. He continues to oversee the implementation of these plans as campus architect and chairman of the university's Environmental Stewardship Committee.
Shibley has authored, co-authored or edited 11 books, including Placemaking:The Art and Practice of Building Communities, and Time Savers Standards for Urban Design, while publishing 12 book chapters and over 100 articles and case histories.
In 2010, he received the prestigious "President's Medal" from the University at Buffalo for his scholarship and service to the professions, region and UB. He also received the James R. Haecker award for distinguished leadership in architectural research from the Architectural Research Centers Consortium. In 2012, he received the Robert and Louise Bethune Award, the highest accolade that the American Institute of Architects' (AIA) Buffalo/Western New York chapter bestows. The lifetime achievement award recognizes Shibley's contributions to the profession of architecture over the past 30 years through practice, mentorship and community leadership. His work has also been recognized by the American Planning Association, The Congress of New Urbanism, the International Economic Development Council, the Preservation League of New York State and Progressive Architecture magazine.
Throughout his career, Shibley has consulted internationally in service of excellence in the professions and design education, including commissions with with the American Institute of Architects, an appointment to the Erie Canalways National Heritage Corridor Commission and a role as professional advisor to the Rudy Bruner Foundation. In his previous roles with the U.S. Army's Office of the Chief of Engineers and the U.S. Department of Energy, Shibley helped produce research-based design guides, demonstration programs and curricula.
Shibley holds a Master of Architecture in Urban Design from The Catholic University of America and a bachelor of architecture and a bachelor of science in psychology degree from the University of Oregon.

Does anybody have any experience with one of these things? I am playing around with the idea of going back to a multi pin sight and this concept intrigues me a bit.
It's not that I want anything else to think about when I am shooting an animal but in theory I can see where it would be helpful for practice....particularly if a person is a little rusty in their shooting.
Any thoughts or experience here?

Video: School Threat Thwarted After Teen Plans 'Potential Violent I
LAUREL, Md. (WUSA) -- A student from Laurel High School has been admitted to a hospital for psychiatric evaluation after plotting a "potential violent incident," on Monday, according to City of Laurel officials.
Students at Laurel High School alerted school officials to concerns that they had about a fellow classmate, according to Pete Piringer, spokesperson for the City of Laurel.
9News' Ken Molestina reports that authorities do not believe that the potential plot was inspired by the school shootings in Newtown, Connecticut last week, and that it was apparently already planned. They believe, however, that heightened awareness over Friday's shootings in Connecticut may have contributed to those aware of the teen speaking up.
School officials began investigating and found diagrams and drawings that "indicate some type of violence may have been in the planning stages," Piringer told 9News.
The student's parents told school officials that the student may have access to weapons, Piringer said.
"Through the actions of these fellow students and following the adage 'if you see something say something,' a potentially life threatening situation was avoided," Laurel's police chief said.
Officials say the student was not on school property when he was taken into custody and add that there was no immediate threat to the school.
On Thursday, Prince George's County Public Schools sent this bulletin:
To the PGCPS Community,
I extend my thanks for your patience while the investigation of a potential threat at Laurel High School was underway yesterday. The safety of students and staff is of our utmost concern, and we are extremely thankful that Laurel High School students shared their concerns with the proper authorities so that we could work quickly with the Laurel City Police to investigate the matter.
Although the school never faced a direct threat, we must take all such reports seriously to ensure the well-being of our students and staff. Some of you have expressed your concern regarding the communications of this matter to the public; please be assured that we release all information as soon as it is made available by law enforcement officials. To ensure you receive all future emergency notifications, please sign up for the school system's e-Alerts by clicking here.
Dr. Alvin L. Crawley
Interim Superintendent of Schools

Adam Shell, USA TODAY
NEW YORK -- The stock market rally powered by a drop in the unemployment rate to 7.8%, its lowest level since January 2009, boosted the Dow Jones industrial average to a fresh five-year high even as other benchmark indexes closed lower.
A jobs report-driven rally lost steam in the afternoon but didn't prevent the Dow from closing up 34.79 points to finish at 13,610.15. The Standard & Poor's 500 index ended down 0.47 points to 1,460.93, and the tech-laden Nasdaq composite index finished down 13.27 points to 3,136.19.
Crude oil took a hit, closed down $1.84 to $89.87, a 2% drop for the day.
The stock market, fueled in large part by a Federal Reserve-powered stimulus, had been on track to sail past bull market highs it notched in September. If the gains had continued, benchmark indexes would have closed at new highs.
The government reported that 114,000 jobs were created last month, which was basically in line with what analysts were expecting. The number of jobs created in July and August were also revised upwards.
JOBS REPORT: More stories, analysis and video on employment
Wall Street analysts polled by Reuters were expecting September payrolls to expand by 113,000, down from the upwardly revised 142,000 jobs added in August. They expected the unemployment rate to tick up from to 8.2%, from 8.1% in August.
"The number was not bad for stocks but it wasn't good enough to be a major, major market mover," says Mark Lamkin, CEO and chief market strategist at Lamkin Wealth Management.
The knee-jerk stock rally could also face headwinds due to the fact that some Wall Street traders don't trust the sharply lower unemployment rate. Conspiracy theories abound, with some traders wondering aloud if the numbers are being manipulated by the Obama administration to boost his election chances. "These unemployment numbers are rigged," warned Gary Katlbaum, president of Kaltbaum Capital Management in a research note to clients.
"The 8% unemployment rate has been a headline number for the past two years, so it was imperative that this administration got it under that number before the election."
Still, if the rally holds into the close, the Dow Jones industrial average and Standard & Poor's 500 index have a shot at closing at fresh bull market highs and their highest levels since December 2007.
Lamkin says while an unemployment rate below 8% looks good and makes headlines, the fact that the economy is still not generating the 200,000 to 250,000 jobs needed to bring the jobless rate down more sharply will keep investor bullishness from getting overly optimistic.
The jobs issue is critical to investors, not only because it offers a window into the economy's health, but also because the trajectory of the unemployment rate has political and policy implications. The health of the job market could influence whether President Obama gets re-elected or Republican challenger Mitt Romney wins the White House.
Lamkin says today's employment news from the Labor Department was a "debate and political campaign mover." He says the lowest jobless rate since Obama took office will give the president a boost, following a so-so performance in Wednesday's first presidential debate. Republican challenger Mitt Romney, however, will be able to jump on the fact that job growth is still tepid at best, Lamkin adds.
The monthly jobs report has taken on added significance for investors ever since Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke last month specifically linked the duration of the central bank's easy-money policies to the health of the jobs market. Bernanke has said the Fed will continue to add stimulus to financial markets until the unemployment rate, now at 7.8%, comes down sharply and the economy is healthy enough to generate jobs at a quick enough pace on its own.
The solid September employment report, however, was not strong enough to cause the Fed to take its foot off the stimulus accelerator, Barclays analyst Michael Gapen wrote in a report. And that's bullish for stocks, as well.
"We don't see the sharp decline in the unemployment rate as changing the calculus for the Fed at this stage," Gapen noted. The Fed, he says, will continue to purchase $85 billion of long-term Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities each month.
The Fed's bond-buying program helps stocks because it lowers borrowing costs and injects billions of dollars into the financial system.
