HUDSON, N.Y. — Columbia-Greene Community College has awarded a total of 245 degrees and certificates for the 2020 academic year.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, President Carlee Drummer, Ph.D., delivered her commencement speech virtually on Saturday, May 16. An in-person graduation is tentatively scheduled for November 28.

“Last September, when we began the new academic year, no one could have imagined that your graduation day on May 16 would be hijacked by a pandemic known as COVID-19,” said Drummer. “Class of 2020, you are entering new territory and have the opportunity to change the world – through the arts, medicine, technology, and fields not yet discovered. You are a talented and diverse group, and I look forward to seeing how each of you will put your education – and innovative spirit – to work.

As Abraham Lincoln noted, ‘The best way to predict your future is to create it.’”
