  • [MUSIC]

  • [APPLAUSE] >> Please be seated.

  • Graduates, Mary Bara, honored guests, Faculty, staff,

  • family, and friends, welcome to the 2016 graduation

  • ceremony at Stanford University's Graduate School of Business.

  • >> [APPLAUSE]

  • >> What does your graduation signify?

  • As you know, studying at the GSB means so

  • much more than mastering the concepts of management,

  • it is as much about personal transformation.

  • As you sit before us eager to receive your diplomas,

  • I encourage you to think about how you have changed And

  • grown, during your time here.

  • Your graduation today, celebrates all that you have done and

  • become, and your readiness to have a dramatic and

  • positive impact on the organizations you will lead, manage or

  • found and through those organizations, the communities they serve.

  • What you have accomplished at the GSP, you have not accomplished alone.

  • You've learned and received help, guidance, mentorship and

  • support from many quarters, all of which are represented here, today.

  • First, you're sitting shoulder

  • to shoulder with your classmates, as you have throughout your time here.

  • Think how much you've learned from one another in squads, clubs,

  • study trips small group dinners, talk,

  • touchy feely, or just in quiet conversation together.

  • You forged bonds here that will become lifelong friendships,

  • which will nurture and sustain you in the years ahead.

  • Take a moment to show your appreciation for one another.

  • >> [APPLAUSE] >> Sitting behind me on the stage

  • is a group of faculty, who represent

  • the more than 200 tenure line faculty and

  • practitioners, who have been your teachers,

  • coaches, mentors, study trip companions,

  • career advisers, and so much more.

  • I would ask the faculty to stand so

  • that your students can express their appreciation.

  • >> [APPLAUSE]

  • >> And at various locations

  • throughout the amphitheater,

  • our staff from the MBA, MSX and

  • PhD programs, without their

  • tireless efforts on behalf of all of us,

  • none of us would be celebrating today.

  • I ask the staff to stand, if they are not already standing.

  • Wherever they are and be recognized.

  • >> [APPLAUSE] >> I have left the most important for

  • last, each of you has been

  • supported by family and friends,

  • as you will be throughout your lives.

  • They provided encouragement, validation, love, and

  • yes, in many cases, financial support as well.

  • While we will hand the diplomas to you, you know that in parenthesis

  • after your name, belong the names of those who have nurtured you and

  • supported you along the way.

  • This is your opportunity to stand and say thank you to your friends and

  • family, who are here to celebrate your accomplishments with you.

  • >> [APPLAUSE]

  • >> Our mission is

  • different from that most business schools.

  • Our focus is on transformation,

  • we are privileged to be the most selective business school in the world.

  • >> [APPLAUSE].

  • >> In making our selections, we try to pick the highest potential young men and

  • women, and to provide them with an education

  • that will enable them to go on to live lives of impact and meaning.

  • I hope that this has been a transformative experience for you and

  • that you have become infected by the GSB's lofty ambitions for

  • you and that you will indeed take this education, and

  • your desire to have an impact out with you.

  • I recently returned from East Africa, where I'd gone for the opening for

  • our new seed center in Nairobi.

  • >> [APPLAUSE] >> I love being in Africa,

  • but one of the things it so clearly reminds me of

  • is how many people in the world live in very dire circumstances.

  • And let's not kid ourselves that the difference between where we sit today and

  • people with exactly the same talents

  • in the slums of Kibera is entirely of our own making.

  • Each of us has helped along the way and has been a recipient of good fortune,

  • whether by birth or the assistance of others, with that comes

  • a responsibility to make the most of the opportunities that we have been given.

  • It has become my custom to send you off with three wishes that I have for

  • you in your future.

  • Here are my hopes for the class of 2016.

  • First, do not be confused about what really matters.

  • It is the most important relationships in your life, that give it meaning.

  • Make sure that you nurture them.

  • They will sustain you in the good times and the bad.

  • Second, be a lifelong learner.

  • Life is a marathon, not a sprint.

  • Life expectancy is going up, and you will likely want to work for a very long time.

  • So settle in for a long journey and constantly invest in your self

  • knowledge and capabilities, both professional and personal, so

  • that you're increasingly well equipped for the years that still lie ahead.

  • Finally, let me note that at a recent 30th GSB reunion, 82% of the class showed up.

  • I want you to reflect on that for a moment, 82%.

  • So look around, make this

  • group of people an important part of your life for the rest of your life.

  • Stay connected to one another and to us.

  • Our graduation speaker today is an alumni,

  • who embodies these values while leading one of the largest and

  • most important companies in the world, General Motors.

  • In 2015,

  • she was ranked first on Fortune's list of the 50 most powerful women in business.

  • And just this week, she was named as number five on

  • the Forbes list of the most powerful women in the world.

  • As well as number one on their list

  • on their list of the most powerful women in business

  • >> [APPLAUSE]

  • >> Mary Barra graduated from

  • the Stanford GSB with an MBA in 1990.

  • She was an Arjay Miller Scholar and I'm so pleased that at age 100.

  • Yes, folks.

  • That's 100, that Arjay is with us today to recognize this

  • year's Arjay Miller Scholars.

  • Please give a round of applause to Arjay.

  • >> [APPLAUSE]

  • >> Apart from her two years at the GSB,

  • Mary has pretty much been all GM, all the time.

  • She started as a General Motors Institute co-op student at

  • the Pontiac Motor Division, earning a BS in electrical engineering in 1985.

  • After a variety of other roles,

  • Mary was put in charge of global product development In 2011.

  • And so, we see the fruits of her vision and leadership on the road everyday.

  • We have gotten to know Mary and her leadership very well in the last few years

  • as we have worked together on a transformational leadership program for

  • senior executives, and high potentials at General Motors.

  • We take about 35 of these incredible executives and

  • put them together with GSB faculty 5 times a year at various locations

  • around the world, culminating in a group-based action project

  • that addresses present strategic issues facing the company.

  • In this context, I've gotten to observe Mary's leadership style in person.

  • She leads like a GSPer.

  • She's self-aware, inclusive, open, direct and decisive.

  • In short, she's an iconic exemplar of the goals we had for

  • each of you in leadership labs.

  • Despite the rigors of her role, Mary and her husband, Tony make time for

  • their community.

  • As examples in 2014, they chaired the Detroit International Wine Auction,

  • raising a record $2.4 million for scholarships and community arts programs.

  • And in 2012, they chaired the Barbara Ann Karmanos Center

  • 30th Annual Dinner, raising nearly $1.7 million for

  • cancer research and Mary Feinstein for Stanford too.

  • I'm so proud to have her as a member of my advisory council while at the same time,

  • she serves on what we at the GSP like to think of as Stanford's other board,

  • the Stanford University Board of Trustees.

  • It is a pleasure to have Mary with us today.

  • Please join me in giving a warm GSB welcome to Mary Barra.

  • >> [APPLAUSE]

  • >> Dean Saloner,

  • Dean Emeritus Arajay Miller, members of the Stanford Board of Trustees and

  • the GSB advisory council, distinguished faculty and administration.

  • Honored guests, parents, family, friends.

  • And most importantly, members of the class of 2016.

  • Thank you for having me here this afternoon.

  • I am truly honored to be a part of your commencement ceremony.

  • Dean Saloner as an alumna and a member of the GSB Advisory Council, I want to thank

  • you for your significant contributions to this school and to General Motors.

  • >> [APPLAUSE] >> And

  • to the graduates, let me say that it seems like a lifetime ago.

  • >> [LAUGH] >> Well, that's not going to work.

  • >> [LAUGH] >> It does seem

  • like a lifetime ago when I sat where you sit today.

  • I recall very well, the promise and the excitement of commencement and

  • I am thrilled for each of you.

  • So, congratulations.

  • >> [APPLAUSE] >> Everything we

  • know about the class of 2016 tells us that you are one of the most accomplished and

  • diverse classes in the school's history.

  • 42% of your class are women.

  • >> [APPLAUSE] >> And

  • 23% are US minorities, both all time highs.

  • >> [APPLAUSE] >> International

  • students represent 44%, also a new high.

  • >> [APPLAUSE] >> In fact,

  • members of your class represent 62 different countries and

  • I got to spend some time with a few of you yesterday at a breakfast meeting and

  • I have to tell you, what I most appreciated was the diversity of thought.

  • As a class, you have previous experience in more than 300 organizations.

  • Everything from consulting and private equity to manufacturing and

  • the military, to government, education and nonprofit organizations.

  • There is no doubt that you are well-prepared and

  • well-positioned to fulfill the GSP's vision to change the world.

  • Of course, the world has changed considerably since I graduated.

  • When I graduated in 1990, the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed above 29,000 for

  • the first time and we were all amazed with something that was being introduced

  • called the World Wide Web and there was no such thing as a smart phone or texting.

  • If you were an early adapter in 1990, you had what was called a flip phone and

  • you used it to actually make phone calls, but

  • not everything has changed since I was a student.

  • Just as it is today, Stanford was still the finest school in the world

  • with a faculty that was second to none.

  • I know this,

  • because many of you have studied with some of the same professors who taught me.

  • I'm very happy today to see Professor George Foster who

  • was my teacher for accounting.

  • >> [APPLAUSE] >> I'm also thrilled to

  • see Professor James VanHorne who came out of retirement last spring to teach

  • Finance 211.

  • >> [APPLAUSE] >> And what I find most remarkable is that

  • an updated textbook by the late Professor Charles Hornbrook is still used today.

  • My point is that you and I learned from the best, the people

  • who literally wrote the books and now the e-books on business management.

  • And so, it is no surprise to me that you are extremely well-prepared for

  • the road that stretches out before you.

  • But as one who has traveled some distance on that road,

  • I can also tell you what you learn here is just the beginning of what

  • you'll need to know for success going forward.

  • When I came to Stanford, I quickly learned I didn't know what I didn't know.

  • I was 26 years old.

  • I'd lived my entire life in Southeast Michigan and

  • I worked for General Motors since I was 18.

  • >From accounting to corporate culture to entrepreneurship,

  • my eyes were opened and I learned to see the world from a different perspective.

  • My experiences on this campus changed my life and accelerated my career.

  • They prepared me to manage and ultimately to lead.

  • So allow me to share four leadership lessons that I have learned since

  • graduation.

  • Lessons that have been important to me and I hope will be of some value to you.

  • First, leaders listen.

  • You are graduating from one of the finest business schools in the world.

  • Be proud of that, but also be humble and

  • know that any significant accomplishment is always a team effort.

  • It's okay to admit when you don't know.

  • It's okay to ask for help and

  • it's more than okay to listen to the people you lead.

  • In fact, it's essential.

  • Some years ago, I was asked to lead GM's Global Human Resources Function during

  • a critical time for the company.

  • I had never worked in HR before, but I was confident I could make a difference.

  • I accepted the position and I immediately began to identify areas I

  • believed that we could improve, and help the company’s performance.

  • Pretty quickly, I came to the conclusion that the company’s vacation policy was too

  • generous.

  • I was troubled by a program that allowed employees to take additional vacation days

  • beyond what they had earned by purchasing these additional days.

  • So, I propose to my staff to eliminate the program.

  • They told me it was a bad idea.

  • I argued that the program had out lead to usefulness.

  • No longer a place and are more leaner more nimble, more competitive company.

  • And so, I eliminated the program.

  • The next day, the employees nearly eliminated me.

  • >> [LAUGH] >> What I did not fully understand,

  • because I did not listen to my team was that employees purchase

  • these days to give them flexibility in their work and life.

  • What's more, employees often use these times at fractions at a time,

  • a few hours here and there.

  • So they could attend to personal matters like caring for

  • an elderly parent or attending a child's sporting even, or

  • attending a spouse's commencement ceremony.

  • In the world of laptops and smartphones and

  • constant connectivity where employees can and do work anytime, anywhere.

  • The flexibility to purchase those additional vacation days was viewed by

  • many employees as an extremely important benefit.

  • Long story short, Irene stated the policy very quickly and

  • I learned I needed to listen much more carefully in the future.

  • I also learned, it's very important to surround yourself with people who will

  • tell you when and why you're wrong and I learned that listening

  • doesn't diminish when you become the general manager or CEO.

  • Frankly, it increases.

  • Lesson two, leaders care.

  • I was a student here in the late 1980s where MBAs were frequently

  • compared to Gordon Gekko,

  • a character played by Michael Douglas in the 1987 film Wall Street.

  • Gordon Gekko's mantra was simple, greed is good.

  • Today, the comparisons are more likely to be with characters in the Wolf of

  • Wall Street or the Big Short.

  • But unfortunately, despite the fact that business leaders have come a long way

  • since the stereotype of Gordon Gekko,

  • many people continue to view business with a considerable disdain.

  • Gallup's latest update on confidence in US Institutions from July of 15

  • reports that more than three-quarters of US adults don't trust big business.

  • In fact, the only institution that ranked lower than big business was Congress,

  • but come on.

  • That's like saying,

  • you're the least ambitious character in the Game of Thrones.

  • >> [LAUGH] >> As leaders in business, government,

  • nonprofits, NGOs or wherever your career takes you,

  • you have a responsibility to help change the relationship and

  • the reputation institutions have with society.

  • Where do we start?

  • For me at General Motors, it starts with the customer.

  • Now about two and a half years ago, it was a Friday afternoon.

  • I was just about ready to close my laptop and slide it into my bag, and

  • an email came in.

  • It was from a customer.

  • He was very upset.

  • He wanted to get a loaner that the company had promised and he was unable to get it.

  • He was upset with his vehicle.

  • He was upset with the company and he was pretty darn upset with me, and

  • he let me know it.

  • So I stared at my computer for a minute and then I responded and said,

  • would you please share your phone number?

  • A minute or two later, I had his phone number.

  • So, I picked up the phone and I gave him a call.

  • He explained to me what had happened.

  • How the dealership had let him down and how we weren't fulfilling his promise.

  • I promised him that I would make sure he got a loaner and

  • I immediately called the right people.

  • And by the next morning, he had the loaner vehicle we had promised.

  • I felt good.

  • I thought problem resolved.

  • But on Monday morning, I got another email.

  • It was from the same customer and he said, I couldn't believe you responded.

  • I couldn't believe you cared.

  • I couldn't believe how well the dealership and your team treated me.

  • I have my loaner and I will now be a General Motors customer for

  • the reset of my life.

  • The takeaway for me is that you and your company will make mistakes.

  • How you deal with those mistakes will largely determine how you'll be judged.

  • And no matter what business you're in,

  • you only win when the customer tells you, you win.

  • Lesson three, leaders inspire.

  • As I said, your company’s success depends on how well you satisfy customers, but

  • changing the world goes well beyond serving customers.

  • It’s also about serving society.

  • When one day soon, you will be leading an organization.

  • You should absolutely be concerned about the bottom line.

  • In today's world, you will certainly be measured by quarterly results.

  • But as a visionary leader, you should be thinking more than just the next quarter.

  • You should be thinking about the next decade and what were your companies

  • reputation and place in the world be forty-quarters from now?

  • More and more, today's employees want to be connected to a broader purpose,

  • a higher calling.

  • They want their companies and

  • their institutions to make the world a better place.

  • I believe we can do both.

  • I believe we are required to do both and

  • I believe it's up to leaders like you to set the tone, create the vision,

  • inspire the behaviors that allow organizations to best serve society.

  • As leaders, we have an obligation to act responsibly and

  • courageously for the people and for the planet, because our actions

  • do have long-term effects on the generations that come after us.

  • It means creating workplaces where everyone is empowered and valued, and

  • can contribute to his or her full potential.

  • It means working to improve the communities where we live and work.

  • For example by supporting and improving STEM education.

  • It means changing the way we build our products, using renewable energy,

  • creating landfill-free facilities, and working to address climate change.

  • And at GMs, it means working to reduce and

  • one day eliminate the effect our cars have on the environment.

  • At the end of the day, all businesses are about people first,

  • because the only way we can genuinely successfully build businesses,

  • is by building lasting relationships both inside and outside of the company.

  • And at GM we do that by holding our self accountable,

  • doing what we say we're going to do, and

  • working hard to inspire others to strive for something bigger than themselves.

  • And my final lesson, leaders work.

  • Your Stanford degree tells others you have talent and that’s great.

  • But if you truly want to change the world you need more than talent.

  • You also need to do the work.

  • Because hard work beats talent if talent doesn't work hard.

  • I think about my mom and dad.

  • My parents grew up in the Great Depression.

  • My mom grew up on a farm in Northern Michigan.

  • My dad grew up in an iron mining town in upper Minnesota.

  • They didn't have many advantages.

  • They each only had high school degrees, but they believed in the American dream.

  • And they worked hard to achieve it.

  • They taught my brother and me that there is no substitute for hard work and

  • you work before you play.

  • And like so many other parents and grandparents here today, they displayed

  • the kind of passion and grit that allowed them to not just raise a family, but

  • to build a foundation from which we could reach even higher.

  • Your education will open doors.

  • Your talents will open worlds.

  • But your hard work will enable you to accomplish more

  • than you ever thought possible.

  • So a lot has changed since the years I sat in your chair, but

  • the responsibilities of leadership have stayed the same.

  • Each of you are remarkably capable.

  • You are highly trained and well schooled.

  • And you are alive at an extraordinary time in human history, where technology

  • is changing our lives faster and more profoundly than ever before.

  • In this world of unbounded opportunity,

  • all of you have the opportunity to be successful.

  • So my question to you is how will you define success?

  • Will you challenge the status quo?

  • Will you inspire others to do great things?

  • Will you protect what needs protecting?

  • And will you build a foundation that allows future generations to reach

  • even higher?

  • In short, will you leave the world better than you found it?

  • I, along with so many others, are counting on you.

  • Again thank you so much.

  • It's been wonderful to be here and share this celebration,

  • and congratulations to the class of 2016.

  • >> [APPLAUSE]

  • >> Thank you, Mary.

  • It is now my great honor to introduce the GSP PhD class of 2016.

  • The research undertaken by these students is truly impressive,

  • both in its quality and its importance.

  • In aggregate, this research represents over 100 person years of intense work.

  • Let me briefly give some examples,

  • showing the broad scope of issues these students have addressed.

  • The research of several of these students involves studying networks.

  • Among other things, this work explored how politicians are held accountable

  • by the structure of social networks, how the strategic networks of venture capital

  • firms affect the performance of the companies that they fund.

  • How the social network connections of entrepreneurs affect the flow of ideas and

  • the formation of teams.

  • And how in general, economic decisions are affected by social networks.

  • Other students address the role that privilege plays in maintaining inequality,

  • and examine how conflicts in organizations affect organizational learning.

  • One student explored how employment contracts

  • can be designed to make sure the projects aren't inefficiently prolonged.

  • Another studied the effects of competition on supply chains, and

  • another looked at how the availability of collateral

  • determines the funding strategies of small firms.

  • Several students in accounting looked at how incentives and reputational concerns

  • affect what gets disclosed by those firms and when it gets disclosed.

  • One accounting student examined how the desires of security analysts to mimic

  • their peers affect the quality of their forecast.

  • Finally, in the marketing area one student studied how people respond to conflicting

  • information given in product reviews like those found on Amazon and Yelp.

  • Another studied how the advertising of e-cigarettes affects the demand for

  • traditional cigarettes.

  • And another explored how the nearly constant interruptions

  • consumers encounter in their daily lives, affects decision making and

  • attempts at consumer persuasion.

  • All of this work is rigorously done in accord with the highest

  • academic standards, and

  • all of it adds in important ways to our understanding of management and policy.

  • Today, we celebrate the transition of these PhD candidates,

  • from students to future intellectual leaders.

  • After their advisors place the hood of the Stanford Business School on them, they

  • will join us on the stage as we welcome them into our profession as colleagues.

  • >> [APPLAUSE]

  • >> So congratulations graduates.

  • >> [APPLAUSE]

  • >> 2016 marks the 44th class of students

  • to graduate with a certificate in Public Management and

  • Social Innovation Founded by Dean Emeritus Arjay Miller,

  • the certificate program educates leaders for environmental and social change.

  • In addition to earning their MBA or their MSX degrees,

  • these students have taken a formal course of study in the management of social

  • venture organizations in both the private sector and the public sector.

  • Today's certificate graduates really do embrace the GSB motto.

  • Changes lives, change organizations, change the world.

  • To give you some examples of the program activities

  • that they've been undergoing in the past two years, consider the following.

  • They participated in a wide range of social renovation courses covering topics

  • such as health care reform, education reform and sustainable energy markets.

  • They explored roles with high social impact, such as social entrepreneurship,

  • non-profit board governance and philanthropy.

  • They started and operated the GSBs first ever

  • impact investment fund which will continue beyond this year.

  • They traveled on social innovation study trips to places in the developing world

  • to see for themselves what is possible to address issues of extreme poverty,

  • inadequate healthcare, inaccessible education,

  • environmental sustainability and more.

  • Some of these students, and this may be the most impressive part,

  • some of these students have already developed their own social enterprise and

  • are ready to launch after graduation.

  • So there couldn't be something more different than Gordan Gecko in this class,

  • in this certificate holder group.

  • So this year we have 125 recipients of the Certificate of Public Management and

  • Social Innovation.

  • Their names are listed in the commencement program.

  • I now ask those students to stand, the 125 students, to please stand and

  • be recognized by the audience.

  • >> [APPLAUSE] >> Congratulations.

  • >> [APPLAUSE]

  • >> Good afternoon on this festive and

  • beautiful day.

  • It is my pleasure as director of the Stanford MSX program

  • to present this year's graduate who will receive the degree of Master

  • of Science and Management.

  • The mission of the MSX program is to provide experienced leaders, men and

  • women who have spent at least eight years in professional and

  • management roles, the opportunity to prepare themselves for

  • increasingly senior positions in organizations they will lead.

  • The program is a full-time, year long, course of academic study.

  • Giving these students an all to rare chance for reflection and

  • growth in the midst of an already accomplished career.

  • Simultaneously, they bring to the GSBA perspective shaped

  • by experience with difficult organizational challenges,

  • enriching our academic community as a result.

  • While studying at Stanford, these students carry the title of Sloan Fellows,

  • a tradition that dates to the program's Founding in 1957.

  • This years Fellows came to Stanford from across the United States and

  • 25 additional countries.

  • Many Fellows are sponsored by their employers.

  • Others will be joining or

  • creating innovative new enterprises after graduation.

  • Having completed all the academic requirements of the program, this year's

  • 91 Sloan Fellows will join the worldwide family of Stanford Business School Alumni.

  • On behalf of the administration of the program, and the faculty who have taught

  • them, join me in wishing each of them great fulfillment and

  • success in the next phase of their careers.

  • >> [APPLAUSE] >> I

  • will now read their names while Dean Saloner presents the diplomas.

  • >> Good afternoon everyone,

  • distinguished guests,

  • faculty, staff,

  • families and friends.

  • And I'm just throwing this out.

  • Members of the Golden State Warriors.

  • >> [APPLAUSE]

  • >> [LAUGHTER]

  • >> Okay,

  • the MBA students gather before us today.

  • Achieve great distinction.

  • Two years ago when they successfully navigated

  • our complicated admissions process.

  • Since then they have acquired solid foundations in general management and

  • have pursued further study in their areas of interest.

  • They have engaged in personal growth and

  • built relationships that will last a lifetime.

  • They have helped the school and the community in many very valuable ways.

  • They are an impressive group, and they are ready and

  • worthy to join the ranks of our illustrious alumni.

  • Therefore, ladies and gentlemen,

  • it is my great privilege to present to you the Stanford MBA Class of 2016.

  • >> [APPLAUSE]

  • [APPLAUSE]

  • >> You are the 91st MBA graduating class

  • at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, and

  • in my somewhat biased opinion, the best one yet.

  • >> [APPLAUSE] >> So

  • as you leave to lead lives of impact and meaning, I fully expect that your

  • accomplishments at Stanford will pale in comparison to your future achievements,

  • but I hope your memories of the GSB will remain fresh and

  • that you will stay involved with the school.

  • Our alumni played an important role in your academic experience,

  • ranging from serving as judges in the executive challenge

  • to acting as mentors in your entrepreneurial courses.

  • It is my wish that you too will engage with the GSB's academic mission as

  • alumni and give your time and your experience generously to future classes.

  • Your class has already demonstrated its desire to stay connected to the GSB and

  • to support the school in a meaningful way through your participation in

  • the Class Gift campaign.

  • 95% of you have pledged to give back to the GSB.

  • Thank you.

  • >> [APPLAUSE] >> We know where the rest of you live.

  • >> [LAUGH] >> We'll be coming after you, okay?

  • You will leave your own legacy and play a part in bringing the GSB experience to

  • future generations, as other alumni have done before you.

  • At this time, I'd like to ask the members of the Student Association Senate and

  • the members of the seven essay committees to stand.

  • >> [APPLAUSE]

  • >> Keep standing, keep standing.

  • These are the elected leaders of the student body.

  • The essay has a profound impact on the academic, extracurricular and

  • social lives of students, and serves as an important conduit between students,

  • faculty and the staff.

  • Serving on the essay is a tremendous amount of work,

  • most of which happens behind the scenes.

  • And is the foundation for much of the student experience.

  • So please join me again in a round of applause for

  • this committed group of student leaders.

  • >> [APPLAUSE]

  • >> Thank you.

  • Now, I would like to ask the Arbuckle Leadership Fellows to stand.

  • >> [APPLAUSE]

  • >> The Arbuckle Leadership Fellows program plays an integral role in the GSB

  • leadership curriculum by bringing together a group of talented second year students

  • to support the leadership development of the first year class.

  • On behalf of the school, I thank these 69 students for their tireless work,

  • their extraordinary dedication to their [INAUDIBLE] squads and coachees, and for

  • inspiring a significant number of first year students to seek out this unique

  • leadership opportunity.

  • They are a role model for student leadership at its best.

  • Again, please join me in thanking

  • this remarkable group of students.

  • >> [APPLAUSE] >> Finally,

  • I would like to ask the student leaders of the study trips,

  • the pre-MBA global seminars and the Stanford Exchange Program to stand.

  • >> [APPLAUSE]

  • >> These 93 outstanding student leaders.

  • >> [APPLAUSE] >> [LAUGH] These 93 outstanding student

  • leaders partnered with the school on a critical component of the GSB education,

  • the global experience requirement.

  • They served as peer educators for

  • close to 600 students traveling to 22 countries, helping them discover

  • how business skills are relevant in a wide variety of industries and institutions,

  • and demonstrating once and for all that different countries are different.

  • >> [LAUGH] >> For acting as ambassadors to the GSB

  • and for their indelible impact on the students they led, we thank them.

  • Please join me again in a round of applause for this successful group.

  • >> [APPLAUSE]

  • >> In the next few minutes we will begin reading the names of the graduates

  • in alphabetical order and we'll invite them forward to receive their diploma.

  • Names will be read by Derrick Bolton, the Assistant Dean for MBA admissions.

  • >> [APPLAUSE] >> And

  • Margaret Hayes, Assistant Dean of the MBA program.

  • >> [APPLAUSE] >> Graduates will receive their diplomas

  • from Dean Saloner.

  • As Garth mentioned.

  • >> [APPLAUSE] >> As Garth mentioned,

  • and as many of you already know, RJ Miller is here today.

  • I know that many of you consider yourself friends of RJ Miller.

  • >> [APPLAUSE] [LAUGH]

  • [APPLAUSE]

  • >> RJ served in the US Air Force during

  • the second World War, and

  • was one of the whiz kids who revolutionized Ford Motor Company.

  • He became President of Ford and

  • then later the much admired fourth dean of the GSB from 1968 to 1978.

  • In honor of Dean Miller's service, the top 10% of the class ranked by

  • academic performance are designated as RJ Miller scholars.

  • As we read the names of the graduates, we will also announce if they have

  • achieved the distinction of RJ Miller Scholar.

  • The award comes with a special privilege.

  • Dean Miller, whom as Garth mentioned, turned 100 earlier this year,

  • will personally congratulate the RJ Miller Scholars,

  • after they have received their diploma from Dean Saloner.

  • In the case of joint degree students who are walking today but will not graduate,

  • we will identify those who are currently in the top 10% of the class.

  • Okay, so with that, Margaret and Derek, would you please begin?
