“We are pleased to honor the Valedictorian and Salutatorian of Russell Sage College’s Class of 2021 —Rachel Treers and Megan Paluzzi. You’ll see that things may look a little different here, but that’s for good reason. The Valedictorian is being introduced by Prof. Arlene McGuane. The Salutatorian is being introduced by Grace Giancola. As you’ll note in the statement from our Salutatorian, she has selected a designee, Cheyenne Baker, to speak in her stead. Thus, Megan’s statement is the introduction to Cheyenne’s remarks.”
