Congratulations to Kayla Barbieri (also Class of 2025 salutatorian!), who has earned the prestigious "Exceeds" ranking for her second straight semester in the SUNY New Paltz Writing and Rhetoric program! While Kayla has earned this outstanding distinction, all other students who submitted portfolios successfully met the program's rigorous expectations, earning a total of seven undergraduate college credits this academic year!
The "Exceeds" rating from the SUNY New Paltz Writing and Rhetoric Program recognizes a writer’s ability to establish an effective voice and style while exploring unexpected perspectives and developing advanced source analysis in their written work.
Teacher Rhiannon Fagan notes: "Over the course of this year, I have been impressed with my students' dedication to the writing process, and their willingness to push themselves to pursue difficult topics and enter academic, political, and social discussions through their writing."
Please join us in congratulating Kayla and all our College English students on their remarkable achievements!
