These examples are by no means a complete list, but merely highlight the

remarkable stories of reinvention that live within our own culture. And as

your Dean, they—and all of you—make me very proud.

For those of you continuing your Stern journey, I look forward to traveling by

your side and hearing your stories as they unfold. For those of you who graduate

next week—my “first-born class”—if the examples above are any

indication, I can only imagine what you will bring to bear on the world of business

and the world at large. The possibilities are endless.
