Please welcome the President of New York University, Andrew Hamilton.

Hello graduates.

Every year I choose a different theme to address the graduating class at commencement.

But while the topic varies, the last word of the speeches is typically the same.

"Congratulations".

But now a spoiler alert.

Today's speech will also end with the word congratulations but its meaning to me is very different this year.
