Timothy Cardinal Dolan receives Gold Medal from St. John’s University and gives commencement address 

His Eminence Timothy Cardinal Dolan, Ph.D. ’10HON, Archbishop of New York, served as Commencement speaker at St. John’s University's 153rd annual Commencement Exercise. He was also presented with the Gold Medal-the highest honor the University can bestow upon a nonalumnus.
Educated by the Vincentian community himself, Cardinal Dolan told graduates, "You are my professors this beautiful spring morning.
You are teaching me the pivotal importance of education. In an age emphasizing earning, getting, action, and pleasure, “you opted for a value less coveted, but surely more enduring-time out for learning.”
Watch Cardinal Dolan receives his Gold Medal and address the Class of 2023.
