Schumer Drops by Graduations to Tell Same 'Loser' Story
MIKE VILENSKY and SARA GERMANO
The commencement at the College of Saint Rose in Albany, N.Y., last month went pretty much as advertised. The orchestra played "Pomp and Circumstance," a priest gave the invocation and the keynote speaker offered advice on how to succeed.
After the diplomas were awarded, someone showed up who wasn't on the program: New York Sen. Charles Schumer.
"My friends and I were like, 'Oh! Sen. Schumer is here. That's cool,' " said graduating senior Amanda Rozsavolgyi.
Mr. Schumer's sudden appearance spurred some late adjustments at the small private college. The school said it provided him with spare academic regalia and the provost tweaked his own remarks to introduce the senator.
