Today, you are those better people. You are equipped to solve problems better, thanks to your time at WashU Olin Business School. And the challenges? Well, we have to acknowledge, they are plentiful. I just want to encourage you to find the joy in confronting them. That is how I have approached my work over the past 25 years.
I hope you will become global citizens with a global perspective. I hope you will find a sense of larger purpose in what you are doing. You should put your knowledge to work for the benefit of mankind and contribute to the development of the global economy and society.
