Recipients of the Frank G. Paul Medal of Excellence

BINGHAMTON, NY – Outstanding high school seniors around the Southern Tier were recognized for their performance in Math and Science.

Tuesday, May 24, SUNY Broome President, Kevin Drumm presented students with the Frank G. Paul Medal of Excellence. The recognition includes a medal and cash award for the top scoring male and female students in math and science.

Medal recipients who are attending SUNY Broome will be considered for the Francis and Lillian Paul Scholarship. Students who attend Broome and received the Francis and Lillian Paul Scholarship are also eligible for a transfer scholarship upon graduating, to help complete their bachelor’s degree.

Gianna Rullo, a senior from Chenango Forks, says it is an honor to be recognized for her hard work, and hopes this award helps her transition into the college life.

Chenango Forks Senior, Gianna Rullo says, “I’m going to Syracuse University for architecture. So going in with that math and science, I kind of put them together along with my art, I love art, and painting especially, photo realism. So once I did that I kind of put everything together and found that architecture was the career for me and now I’m going to Syracuse. It’s a five year program, so I’m going to be there a little bit longer than everybody else but I’m really excited.”
