Retired SUNY Plattsburgh Nursing Faculty Member Named to College Council

[Office of the President]

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has appointed Plattsburgh resident and retired
nurse Anna Liem to the SUNY Plattsburgh College Council.

Liem first served at SUNY Plattsburgh in 1998 in the former distance
learning office. She was then coordinator of the RN-BSN study option before
retiring from the college in 2016.

Nursing began as a second career for Liem, who earned a diploma in advanced
biology, chemistry, math and physics from Willesden College of Technology
in London, England, in 1974. Twelve years later, she earned a bachelor’s
degree in computer science and information from Guna Dharma University in
Jakarta, Indonesia.

The trajectory of her education brought her to SUNY Plattsburgh where she
earned a master’s in administration and leadership in 1996. But a career in
nursing called, and Liem returned to the classroom in 2002 and earned her
SUNY Plattsburgh degree in nursing four years later.

While working as coordinator of the RN-to-BSN program at SUNY Plattsburgh,
she worked part time in nursing at Meadowbrook Nursing Home from 2006 to
2008 and in med-surg oncology at CVPH Medical Center through 2018.

Liem replaces Daniel Burke on the council. Burke, who was appointed to the
council in 2016, has a long connection to the college beginning with his
1974 graduation with a degree in economics. His career began as a
consultant for the airline industry and gradually moved into the banking
industry.

After a position as president and CEO with TD Bank, Burke was appointed
president of NBT Bank’s Glens Falls region in 2007. Within a few years, he
was promoted to president of NBT Bank’s vast North Country region, a
position he continues to hold.

In 2002, he was elected to the Plattsburgh College Foundation board,
becoming its treasurer in 2005. In 2006, he became its second vice
president and its president in 2007. Over the years he has held numerous
leadership roles in his community of Glens Falls and in 2015 received SUNY
Plattsburgh’s Distinguished Service award, presented by the College Council
as it honors those who have made a “lasting contribution to the college,
community, state, nation and/or to the international community.”
