Employees Celebrated for Years of Service 

It was an unusually chilly morning on May 14, but the New York Medical College (NYMC) community filled the tent with warm spirits and collegiality as a collective gesture of appreciation for the years of service provided by their colleagues. The 31st Annual Employee Recognition breakfast, hosted by the Office of Human Resources, celebrated those employees who were marking five-year work milestones, from five through 45-years of service. 

Among them was Liza Markley, second from left, administrator of the Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy, who celebrated her 45th anniversary working for the College. Ms. Markley, who started working for the College in 1974, credits NYMC's warm and collegial community for inspiring her to spend her career at the College. "I enjoy all aspects of my job but it's the people I work side-by-side with that have driven my enthusiasm to strive for excellence in my work," she explains. "The NYMC community is so special to me because of the wonderful people who comprise it." Read the full article and view the 31st Annual Employee Recognition Photo gallery.

Convocation of Thanks Offers Closure to Students and Families of Donors 

The 31st Annual Convocation of Thanks on May 10, provided members of the School of Medicine Class of 2022, the Speech-Language Pathology Class of 2020 and the Doctor of Physical Therapy Class of 2021, an opportunity to express thanks to those who donated their bodies and served as their first patients to teach them human anatomy. It also served as a memorial service and provided closure for the families and friends of the body donors. Students articulated their gratitude using music, song, poetry and prose. A tree was ceremoniously planted outside of the Medical Education Center in honor of the anatomical donors and after the ceremony, students met with the families and friends of the donors to learn more about the individuals who had already taught them so much.
