Matthew C. Wiencke
Matthew C. Wiencke is staff editor in the Office of Publications at Dartmouth Medical School (DMS) and the assistant editor of DARTMOUTH MEDICINE magazine. He joined the staff of the DMS Office of Publications in 2001.
In those roles, he writes regularly for both DARTMOUTH MEDICINE and the DMS Alumni News & Notes—on subjects ranging from outcomes research to the arts in medicine—and also handles the editing, copyediting, and fact-checking for several sections of both publications. In addition, he maintains the contents of the DARTMOUTH MEDICINE website; serves as the liaison between the Publications Office and the DMS webmaster on the site's design and navigational structure; manages the office's photographic archive—a resource that contains 20,000 digital images as well as thousands of historical print and slide images; is responsible for the maintenance of the office's electronic index of the contents of both DARTMOUTH MEDICINE and the DMS Alumni News & Notes; maintains the office's archive of back issues; and manages many aspects of the publications' distribution. In addition, he oversees the office's student work-study program—hiring and supervising a team of undergraduates who do much of the actual indexing, archiving, and distribution work.
From 1996 to 2001, Matthew was student supervisor and access services assistant for the Dartmouth Biomedical Libraries, where he also served as editor of the Biomedical Libraries newsletter and as treasurer of the Dartmouth College Library Staff Association. Previously, he held the position of supervisor of the Dartmouth College Storage Library. He has worked for Dartmouth since 1992, beginning at Baker Library as a circulation technician before joining the Biomedical Libraries.
He holds a B.A. in English and music. Outside of work, he is a classical pianist and the music director of Wild Swan Theatre Productions. He volunteers on a weekly basis at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, playing the Steinway grand piano in the institution's main rotunda for the benefit of patients, staff, and visitors at the Medical Center.
