TROY, N.Y. (NEWS10) – Russell Sage College is moving forward with a traditional, in-person commencement ceremony for its class of 2022. Ceremony day is set for Saturday, May 14.
At 6 p.m. on May 14, graduates of Russell Sage from August and December 2021 and May 2022 will be honored. The ceremony will be held at MVP Arena – the former Times Union Center – in Albany.
“We take great pride in recognizing our graduates’ achievements,” said Sage President Christopher Ames. “This year, we are especially excited to return to our large, all-college gathering and to award diplomas in front of our graduates’ friends and family.”
Russell Sage will follow and uphold all public health guidance related to the COVID-19 pandemic as it stands at that time. Russell Sage required coronavirus vaccine booster shots for all students and employees for the spring 2022 semester.
