My pleasure to join in marking the inauguration of Dr. Wayne J. Riley as 17th president of SUNY Downstate Medical Center. Our SUNY institutions serve as educators, innovators, and engaged members of the community. SUNY Downstate and its forebears have a more than 150-year history of succeeding in all three pursuits. In celebrating President Wayne J. Riley’s inauguration, we welcome a distinguished professional with years of leadership and experience to our community. This celebration also honors the contributions of SUNY Downstate to our neighborhood, our borough, and to all our fellow New Yorkers. Congratulations Dr. Riley and congratulations to the entire SUNY Downstate community.
