NY Medical College: Paul LeClerc Honored

Paul LeClerc, Ph.D., president and chief executive officer of the New York Public Library, addressed graduates of New York Medical College, Valhalla at the university's 143rd Commencement. The university awarded 195 doctor of medicine (M.D.) degrees, 98 master of science (M.S.) degrees, 49 master of public health (M.P.H.) degrees and 8 doctor of philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees.

Dr. LeClerc, who received an honorary doctor of humane letters degree, has led the New York Public Library, an American treasure and a New York City landmark, since 1993. Previously he served as president of Hunter College, as university dean and acting vice chancellor for academic affairs of the City University of New York (CUNY), and as provost and vice president for academic affairs at CUNY's Baruch College.

The university also awarded an honorary doctor of science degree to Catherine N. Hinterbuchner, M.D., professor and chairman of the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at the College. A resident of Rye, N.Y., Dr. Hinterbuchner served as chief of rehabilitation medicine at Metropolitan Hospital Center from 1964 until last December, the first woman in Metropolitan's history appointed to the position. She continues to serve as chief of rehabilitation medicine at Lincoln Medical and Mental Health Center in the Bronx. A member of the college faculty for nearly 40 years, she became the first female department chair in 1971.#
