Dear CCNY Graduates of the Class of 2021,
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
There are moments in our history that impress an indelible mark upon us, when we are called to do extraordinary things under the press of an indescribable moment. Anyone graduating in the midst of the COVID19 pandemic will be marked by this extraordinary moment. But even among that national class graduating in 2021, you are different.

Anyone graduating in the midst of the COVID19 pandemic will be marked by this extraordinary moment. But even among that national class graduating in 2021, you are different.
We stand at the cusp of a national return from the isolation, peril and social dislocation of the pandemic. We will, all of us, be marked by these dangerous years, by what we have come through and endured, but no less, by how we rise and respond. At a time when the inequitable imprint of this scourge underscores the other inequities in our society, the City College—and those who work, study and graduate here—stand apart. You graduate from an institution established to redress inequality, an institution that insists on each generation of graduates the responsibility of scanning the social and political landscape, and setting out to rectify that which seems unfair, unjust or inequitable.

You have struggled, sometimes mightily and against long odds, to reach this day, and we revel with you in the pride of your accomplishment. You have contributed, in your questions and your ideas, to our vision, and as an institution we have adjusted that vision to account for your values and experiences. We have witnessed the flowering of your potential and expansion of your capacity.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Dear CCNY Graduates of the Class of 2021,
Matthew Romano, an honors student who’s overcome the stigma of autism to excel academically, is The City College of New York’s Class of 2021 Valedictorian. The 22-year-old Bronx resident of Caribbean heritage is graduating summa cum laude with a 3.99 GPA. He’ll receive a BA degree in English with a minor in education.
There are moments in our history that impress an indelible mark upon us, when we are called to do extraordinary things under the press of an indescribable moment. Anyone graduating in the midst of the COVID19 pandemic will be marked by this extraordinary moment. But even among that national class graduating in 2021, you are different.
Talking of overcoming his challenges, Romano said: “It was only recently that I built up the courage to start undoing the straps of the straitjacket that’s both cramped and cradled me for the first 22 years of my life. It’s easy to lose sight of who you are when society only tells you who you’re not.
SALUTATORIAN
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Dear CCNY Graduates of the Class of
2021,
Shilpa Ann Shaju from the William E. Macaulay Honors College at CCNY, is the Salutatorian. A political science and international studies double major minoring in legal studies, she’s graduating with a BA degree.
There are moments in our history that impress an indelible mark upon us, when we are called to do extraordinary things under the press of an indescribable moment. Anyone graduating in the midst of the COVID19 pandemic will be marked by this extraordinary moment. But even among that national class graduating in 2021, you are different.
Shaju has been accepted to The University of California, Hastings College of the Law, in San Francisco, as a LEOP Fellow.
Matthew Romano 2021 Valedictorian Vince Boudreau President“The Autism stigma, in no uncertain terms, dictated the spheres I could access and those I could only gawk at from a distance. For me, and many of my neurodivergent peers, our neurotypical counterparts always seemed a world’s away and higher education bore a “do-not-enter” sign that we dared not trespass.”
We stand at the cusp of a national return from the isolation, peril and social dislocation of the pandemic. We will, all of us, be marked by these dangerous years, by what we have come through and endured, but no less, by how we rise and respond. At a time when the inequitable imprint of this scourge underscores the other inequities in our society, the City College—and those who work, study and graduate here—stand apart. You graduate from an institution established to redress inequality, an institution that insists on each generation of graduates the responsibility of scanning the social and political landscape, and setting out to rectify that which seems unfair, unjust or inequitable.
Inspired by CCNY’s 174-year mission to serve “the children of the whole people,” Romano, a member of the NYC Men Teach initiative, has been stellar in and out of the classroom. “As a future educator and proud alumni, I wear this motto both on my sleeve and near my heart to remind me of my ambition and purpose in becoming a teacher: to break barriers, extend “access to excellence,” instill radical change, and broaden the scope of “the whole people,” remembering to leave a deep enough imprint for others to follow.”
As an institution, we were made for this moment, a moment when the revival of so much that we hold dear requires the energy, insight and creativity of the whole people. As graduates of CCNY, you now shoulder the responsibility of advancing your vision of a strong and just society, as so many before you have done.
You have struggled, sometimes mightily and against long odds, to reach this day, and we revel with you in the pride of your accomplishment. You have contributed, in your questions and your ideas, to our vision, and as an institution we have adjusted that vision to account for your values and experiences. We have witnessed the flowering of your potential and expansion of your capacity.
Romano has been a student teacher since last fall at the Bronx High School of Science, one of the nine specialized high schools in the state. There he co-teaches ninth and 10th grade English classes designed for remote instruction. Working alongside Leslie Berger, Romano designs, plans, and teaches lessons to some of New York’s highest achieving students. Previously, Romano served as a teaching fellow in some of the highest-need schools across the Bronx. There, he developed his teaching philosophy centered around curriculum that is rigorous, culturally and socially relevant, and promotes risk-taking.
His numerous honors at CCNY include, The Peter F. Vallone Scholarship, The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Grant, The Paul Roberts Memorial Scholarship, The Allan Danzig Memorial Award, The Stark Award for Essay in Literature and and The Dean’s List. Romano’s other accomplishments include vice president of the Teachers of Tomorrow club and a CCNY Admissions Ambassador.
For all of these reasons, and with sadness and joy, we now bid you farewell in the full confidence of what you will do with your gifts. Hold tight to the vision of our college, and carry it into the world as you leave. Cherish and nurture a sense of yourself as especially equipped to meet the demands of the day. Be confident in your voice, even as you venture into new and different territory. You leave our campus equipped for your professional life, with academic credentials and a full cache of skills. But you also carry a vision of a better day, and it needs constantly to be nourished by your courage and commitment.
You are the light of our lives, the fulfillment of our hopes, and our best chance at a fair and just society. I am honored to offer each and every one of you my most enthusiastic and profound congratulations.
Boudreau PresidentThe daughter of Indian immigrants, Shaju said: “As a Skadden Arps. Legal Fellow at CCNY, I learned that most clients in the American legal system feel voiceless and trapped in an unfamiliar process. I would like to pursue a legal education so that I can be a guide for specifically immigrants who feel this way in the legal system, and an advocate for changing the immigration process.”
Shipa Ann Shaju 2021 Salutatorian Vince Boudreau PresidentIn addition to her studies in the Macaulay Honors College, Shaju has worked as a legal assistant in the Manhattan law firm of Moumita Rahman, PLLC. Her responsibilities include immigration cases involving asylum, trafficking, hardship waiver and H1-B work visa applications.
We stand at the cusp of a national return from the isolation, peril and social dislocation of the pandemic. We will, all of us, be marked by these dangerous years, by what we have come through and endured, but no less, by how we rise and respond. At a time when the inequitable imprint of this scourge underscores the other inequities in our society, the City College—and those who work, study and graduate here—stand apart. You graduate from an institution established to redress inequality, an institution that insists on each generation of graduates the responsibility of scanning the social and political landscape, and setting out to rectify that which seems unfair, unjust or inequitable.
“As a CCNY student, I understand how vibrant a space can become if we give others an opportunity. This is what I want to do with my legal career,” said the New Hyde Park resident. “I want to open the door for others to have a chance to not only live in a safe country, but to be recognized in its law as well.”
As an institution, we were made for this moment, a moment when the revival of so much that we hold dear requires the energy, insight and creativity of the whole people. As graduates of CCNY, you now shoulder the responsibility of advancing your vision of a strong and just society, as so many before you have done.
Shaju’s other accomplishments include president of the Macaulay Pre-Law Club; secretary, the CCNY International Studies Club; and summer intern in the office of New York State Senator Kevin Thomas (July 2019 - Aug. 2019). Thomas is the first Indian-American to serve in the New York Senate.
You have struggled, sometimes mightily and against long odds, to reach this day, and we revel with you in the pride of your accomplishment. You have contributed, in your questions and your ideas, to our vision, and as an institution we have adjusted that vision to account for your values and experiences. We have witnessed the flowering of your potential and expansion of your capacity.
For all of these reasons, and with sadness and joy, we now bid you farewell in the full confidence of what you will do with your gifts.

But you also carry a vision of a better day, and it needs constantly to be nourished by your courage and commitment.
You are the light of our lives, the fulfillment of our hopes, and our best chance at a fair and just society. I am honored to offer each and every one of you my most enthusiastic and profound congratulations.

U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) lied about the player she’d just killed live on the Internet in front of 400,000 people — that’s just the year we’re living in, folks.
