22nd Annual NYMC Faculty Author Celebration

August 26, 2015

The 22nd Annual NYMC Faculty Author Celebration was held on Wednesday, August 5, 2015. Faculty, senior administrators and library staff celebrated the recent scholarly publications of faculty authors. Each year the library compiles the current articles, books and other writings of our faculty authors into a bibliography. This was the twenty-second edition of the Faculty Authors’ Bibliography representing materials published from January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014.

A lovely buffet and wine bar graced the event. Introductory addresses were provided by Chancellor and Chief Executive Officer, Edward C. Halperin, M.D., M.A., Michael Wolin, Ph.D., Professor of Physiology and Chair of the Library and Academic Support Committee (LASCOM) and Marie Ascher, M.S., Lillian Hetrick Huber Endowed Director of the Health Sciences Library. Special awards and certificates were presented by Marie Ascher for outstanding achievements (see below). Event photos are available for your enjoyment.
