Hartford Mayor Arunan Arulampalam gave the commencement speech Friday for this year’s graduating class of the Quinnipiac School of Law, welcoming 116 new graduates 10 years to the day that he gave the student address at his own QU commencement.

Arulampalam urged this year’s class to “seek out those who think differently than you do and to build collaborative relationships with them and broaden your understanding from a place of humility.”
