Commencement

Russell Sage College committed to a student-centered community celebration to honor our graduates in a new and innovative way this year. Sage hosted small, outdoor, on-campus gatherings for all 2020 and 2021 graduates on Tuesday, May 11 and Wednesday May 12. In response to the New York State guidelines updated on April 12, 2021, we made significant changes to our May 11 and 12 Graduation Celebration Ceremonies. Our plans were revised to allow each graduating student to have two guests attend the ceremony. We also included an opportunity for graduates to walk across the stage as part of the ceremony and the events were livestreamed, as well.

Graduates were given the opportunity to attend one of the 7 ceremonies.

While our ceremonies were smaller this year, we take great pride in recognizing your achievements and the beginning of your exciting new journey.
