MIDDLETOWN, N.Y. – SUNY Orange celebrated the distribution of its year-end academic achievement awards, scholarships to graduating students, and club and organizational awards during its 63rd annual Awards Convocation ceremony held Tuesday (May 17) at the historic Paramount Theater in Middletown.

In addition to the year-end awards, the College acknowledged two students who earned the SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Student Excellence (Jakob Baumgartner of West Point and Carly Glassé of Goshen). In addition, Glassé was celebrated for having been one of 20 students nationally named to the All-USA Academic Team by Phi Theata Kappa, the national honor society for students at two-year colleges. Similarly, Cayden Mangiameli, of Glen Spey, was recognized for having been included as one of 50 students nationally who were named as Coca-Cola GOLD Scholars.

New York State Senator Mike Martucci (see photo below), a 2005 SUNY Orange graduate, concluded the evening’s ceremony by presenting Senate proclamations to Glassé and Mangiameli in recognition of their national academic awards.
