Alumni & Alumnae of the Psychology Department

If you are a graduate of Le Moyne's Psychology program and want to list information about your current employment setting, research activities etc., please get in touch with Fr. Hevern [hevern @ lemoyne.edu]. This section contains information about our graduates. We hope that this section will allow our current students to see some of what may lie ahead for them after graduation as well as give alumni/alumnae another way of communicating with their classmates. Fr. Hevern will prepare notices himself when he comes across relevant news about our graduates; those items will have a posting notice listed as "VWH".

Dr. Dominic Carone (LMC '98) Named CNYPA "Psychologist of the Year"

Dominic A. Carone, Ph.D. (LMC '98) was recently named "Psychologist of the Year" for 2007 by the Central New York Psychological Association. Dr. Carone is coordinator of the Neuropsychological Assessment Program in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at SUNY Upstate Medical University in Syracuse, NY where he holds the rank of Assistant Professor. According to the announcement by CNYPA, Dr. Carone was selected to receive this award for his work as chair of the association's Legislative Committee and his efforts in Albany to find a compromise to various professional issues arising from the new Scope of Practice Law and its effects upon the work of neuropsychologists across New York State.

A major in psychology at Le Moyne as an undergraduate, Dom received his doctoral degree at Nova Southeastern University where he specialized in Clinical Neuropsychology. A clinical internship at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center was followed by a two-year postgraduate fellowship in the Department of Neurology at the SUNY Buffalo School of Medicine and Biological Sciences. Since 2001, Dom has also been the founding editor of MedFriendly.com, a well-received comprehensive guide to medical terminology. There are now more than 2,000 entries at the site.

Two current Le Moyne students, both Juniors and majors in psychology, are spending the 2007-2008 academic year as "Externs" for the Neuropsychology Assessment Program. (Posted 2/16/2008 VWH; Photo credit: SUNY Upstate Update Feb 6-20, 2008)
