Brian Lauer on WNYC, we will end today in our last few minutes with a call in for anyone

who heard a commencement address during this graduation season to call in and share

one nugget of wisdom that you might have heard along the way that is worth repeating.

212-433 WNYC, 212-433-9-6-92, call or text.

First of all, congratulations to all the graduates.

Did you have an interesting speaker at your graduation

or at the graduation ceremony of a loved one?

And what did they say in their speech to the graduates

that sticks with you? 212-433, WNYC, 212, 433, 9692. Some ones that have been making news.

The singer-songwriter Maggie Rogers is a graduate of NYU's Clive Davis Institute of

Recorded Music, and she gave the commencement speech at the Tisch School of the Arts earlier this

month. She shared a lot of advice. She would have liked to hear when she graduated college,

some of it basic, stay hydrated, wears sunscreen, and some of it more grand and about the meaning of art and life

and life as an artist. This is a quote from her speech,

A lifetime making art is in some ways about your tolerance for risk, whether it's money or

lifestyle or your own heart, but it's equally about your ability to dream.

She writes to her younger self. I tell her to keep

the dreams bigger than the fear. So those were Maggie Rogers' words from a commencement address.

She gave earlier this month at NYU, did you hear anything so lovely and poignant at a graduation

this year or just one thing that stuck with you.

Give us a call or text it to 212-433, WNYC, 212, 433-9692.
