“Do not live or hope with folded arms.”

At Albany Law School’s 175th Commencement, the Honorable Rowan D. Wilson, Chief Judge of the State of New York and the New York Court of Appeals, challenged our graduates to meet the future with purpose, courage, and action.

His message was clear: hope is not passive. Progress depends on people willing to engage, lead, and make a difference.

As our graduates begin the next chapter of their journeys, may they carry that challenge forward.
