2022 Commencement Retrospective

"As you move into the next stage of your career, move into new organizations and communities - what are the principles from which you will operate? Can you keep them front and center even if you are pulled in many directions? … How will you live your values? Can you be bold? Can you be loving? It is in these moments that the leader in you grows…" 

-Dean Marianne Yoshioka, 2022 Commencement
