STATEN ISLAND, N.Y.

-- On the great lawn of St. John's University's Staten Island campus, 200 graduates received their degrees Saturday as part of the university's 146th commencement.

TV personality Rosanna Scotto, co-host of Good Day New York, delivered the commencement address at the Grymes Hill campus, where she told graduates about the importance of hard work and dedication.

"Think about your parents and grandparents, of how they struggled so you could have a better life. You've answered their prayers. How proud they must be," Scotto said.

She also gave advice in the form of a list -- "10 things to do to be successful" -- which included tips like get at least eight hours of sleep, do not use the Kardashians as role models and always buy on sale.

The Class of 2016 saw 58 students graduate with honors, including a 67-year-old woman.

"You're never too young, too old and it's never too late to graduate," said the university's president, Conrado Gempesaw.

"Here, we turn aspirations into achievements," he said.

Here's the list of 2016 graduates:
