Nicholas Johnson, a Canadian student majoring in operations research and financial engineering, has been named the valedictorian of Princeton’s Class of 2020, the university announced in news release.

Being the first Black Valedictorian at Princeton has special meaning for me, especially given Princeton’s historical ties to the institution of slavery,” Johnson told CNN. “I hope this achievement motivates and inspires younger black students, especially those who are interested in the STEM field.”

Even though the coronavirus pandemic canceled the Princeton in-person graduation ceremony, the school still held a virtual on May 31.

“I am comforted by how well my friends and classmates are adapting to these challenging times,” he said, “and have ensured that the strong Princeton community survives virtually regardless of our physical separation from each other.”
