SUNY Optometry Dedicates New Feder Hall Classroom and Bestows 26 Scholarships NEW YORK—SUNY Optometry handed out 26 scholarships, a total of $66,750 in student support, at an event at the school last month which also included the dedication of one of the College’s newly renovated classrooms/lecture halls in honor of Class of 1983 alumnus, Mark Feder, OD. The event took place in what is now known as Feder Hall, a classroom on the first floor of the College’s building that recently received a complete refurbishing and is now a comfortable, innovative new learning environment for students. Feder, founder of the IDOC group, was present along with his wife, Sherrie, and daughter, Danielle, a member of the college’s Class of 2017. In his remarks to the gathering of students, faculty, staff, supporters and trustees of SUNY Optometry’s foundation, the Optometric Center of New York (OCNY), Feder emphasized his desire to help the next generation of optometrists and their need to provide “compassionate health care” to their patients over the course of their careers. Among the many scholarships earned by students at SUNY was the first Fred Friedfeld Memorial Scholarship, which was created this summer in honor of the late founder of ClearVision Optical by his family. Friedfeld’s wife, Mimi, was there with sons David, Peter and Douglas Friedfeld, daughter Elizabeth and their immediate family to see the first scholarship in Fred’s honor bestowed to Karen Levy, Class of 2017.
