Class of 2026 Valedictorian

Astiaque Ahmed

Candidate for Bachelor of Science in Financial Economics

Astiaque Ahmed is graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Financial Economics with a current GPA of 3.963. During his time at Medgar Evers College, Astiaque’s academic achievements landed him on the Dean’s list seven times and on the President’s List four times. It’s an even more impressive accomplishment given the fact that he arrived in the United States after emigrating from Bangladesh in 2020 in the midst of a pandemic and without having completed his academic education before arriving in his new country. In November 2025, Astiaque became a U.S. citizen and during his last semester, he squeezed an internship at Senator Kevin Parker’s led to his joining Alexander’s consultancy firm as an NYSERDA Climate Justice Fellow and studying for the LSATs with a goal of attending law school.
