Each year Onondaga Community College recognizes distinguished graduates who have made a difference in their community and professional life, naming them "Alumni Faces" honorees. On the night of Wednesday, October 6 at 5:30 p.m. in the Frederick Marvin and Ernst Schuh Recital Hall, we will pay tribute to the Alumni Faces Class of 2021. In the weeks leading up to the event we are speaking with each of the honorees. In this episode of "Chatting About College" we introduce you to Lisa GreenMills, '08.
Lisa GreenMills is a Public Health Professional who has dedicated her career to helping others stay safe and lead healthy lives.
GreenMills grew up in an East Syracuse home where helping others was a way of life. Her mother Diane was a nurse in the Army. She served in Iraq and retired from military service. She also worked at Crouse Hospital in labor and delivery.
GreenMills graduated from East Syracuse Minoa high school in 2003. She came to OCC and majored in Mathematics and Science. She was an excellent student who earned membership in honor society Phi Theta Kappa. She was also active in the Collegiate Science and Technology Entry Program, also known as C-STEP.
GreenMills earned her degree from OCC in 2008, received a bachelor’s in nursing from SUNY Binghamton two years later, and completed a master’s in public health at SUNY Albany.
In 2013 she became Program Coordinator at Syracuse Healthy Start. The organization supports pregnant women and new families with outreach, case management, health education and community connections.
Five years later she became Director of Disease Control for Onondaga County Health Department. And in 2020 the COVID-19 pandemic took over her life.
Today GreenMills works as Director of Operations at Syracuse University's Barnes Center at The Arch. It's the hub for student wellness on the Syracuse University campus. In October she'll return to OCC to be recognized for her work.
The Alumni Faces ceremony will be streamed live on OCC's YouTube and Facebook pages Wednesday, October 6 at 5:30 p.m.
