Houghton, N.Y. (WBEN) - The virtual commencement ceremony for Houghton College in the western New York southern tier has drawn a great deal of attention thanks to a 1976 graduate from the small school.

Dr. Deborah Birx delivered the commencement address Saturday and offered her unique perspective on the life and careers that are ahead for the new graduates of the college.


Birx urged graduates to lean on family and friends in their careers ahead, as they will be the ones to 'hold your hand' along the way and support you.

Dr. Birx noted the nation is navigating through a very difficult time amidst the coronavirus pandemic.

"Having you come at this moment to help America move through this very difficult time is really extraordinary."
