CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE TALENTED

STUDENTS BEING RECOGNIZED TONIGHT, and a

special thanks to their families and friends. To all the

students joining us tonight, you have reached this point

with impressive distinctions—Latin honors; departmental

prizes; awards from Queens College, The City University

of New York, or national organizations. By any standard,

you are members of an exceptionally accomplished group.

Whether you transferred to Queens College or spent your

entire undergraduate career here, I hope you accrued many

other rewards from your time on this campus—rewards

that are no less important for being less tangible: lasting

friendships; intellectual and personal growth; tolerance

for people whose opinions differ from yours; greater

understanding of the social, economic, and political forces

that impact on both inertia and change; satisfaction in the

completion of difficult projects; and greater confidence in

your ideas and your ability to express them.

All of you are moving forward in new directions, to

internships, jobs, graduate or professional school. You

may be headed out of town, out of state, or even overseas.

Thanks to the education you received at Queens College,

and the rich extracurricular experiences you had through

the college, I am sure that you’re prepared for the next

stage of your life, wherever you go and whatever you do.

A liberal arts degree is the ultimate portable asset, and

the advantages it confers last a lifetime. You will soon be

alumni of Queens College.

This is my fifth and final Baccalaureate Convocation at

Queens College. I guess I am in a way graduating too,

from the college to the university level. Like you, I am

moving on to exciting new challenges, in my case, as

chancellor of The City University of New York. I have

enjoyed being part of your journey, getting to know many

of you, and I look forward to hearing from you, and about

you, in the future. That’s because I’m not leaving Queens

College: I’m taking it with me. And so, I hope, are you.

Queens College will always be a part of me.

Honors & AwardsCarol J. Schwartz Hochman ’71

An exemplary alumna of Queens College, you have

had enormous success as a corporate executive yet have

not forgotten your roots. A friend to many causes and

organizations, you serve as a leader in every field you enter.

Your career has unfolded on a national and international

stage since your work with the International Division of the

famed May Department Stores. From 1974 until 1980, you

developed and managed its import programs in accessories,

which also involved a year in Hong Kong. For the next two

decades, from 1980 to 1999, you were group president for

accessories at the groundbreaking Liz Claiborne Inc., the

first Fortune 500 company founded by a woman and a place

where you proved your talent at growing your division. From

1999 until 2009, you were president and CEO of Danskin, a

125­year­old company known for its dance and active wear

but in need of fresh strategies for the twenty­first century.

You restructured it successfully and oversaw its sale to

Iconix, a major aggregator of apparel brands; you then

helped a new management team develop innovative business

strategies for the renamed Triumph Apparel Corporation. In

2009, you became president of RHH Capital and Consulting,

your own consulting business, which specializes in advising

retail, apparel, and licensing managements.

In recognition of your exceptional life story, in 2015 we

awarded you the Queens College Lifetime Achievement

Award. Owing to your remarkable track record and steady

hand, you are also a respected voice in your industry.

You are past chair of the American Apparel and Footwear

Association; a trustee of the Sporting Goods Manufacturers

Association; and a founding advisory board member of the

Accessory Council. You serve on the board of Blyth Inc.

(NYSE), a leader in the home décor industry, and you are

on the advisory board of the Westport Corporation, which

manufactures leather accessories.

Despite multiple demands on your time, you have devoted

many hours to sharing your expertise with the larger

community. You established the Carol and Richard Hochman

Scholars Fund at your alma mater, and you have helped the

college and its students in countless other ways as a trustee

and past chair of the Queens College Foundation. You serve

on the advisory board to Feed, a socially conscious business

that combats world hunger. You are a tireless worker for

women’s empowerment. You are past chair of W.O.M.E.N.

in America, a mentoring program for young businesswomen,

and you are managing director of Golden Seeds, an important

angel investing group that works with women entrepreneurs.

You also are a member of the Paradigm for Parity Coalition,

a movement of business leaders who seek to close the gender

gap in corporate leadership by 2030.

Every day, you model what is meant by our motto: Discimus

ut serviamus.

In recognition of your nimble service to business and trade,

sustainable public education, and food and gender parity, we

are proud to present you with the Queens College President’s

Medal.
