4
00:04:17,470 --> 00:04:20,879
Good afternoon, everybody.

5
00:04:20,980 --> 00:04:25,114
Welcome to our
celebration on behalf

6
00:04:25,114 --> 00:04:28,594
of our Wisconsin School of
Business BBA graduates.

7
00:04:28,594 --> 00:04:31,229
Let's give them all
a round of applause.

8
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,910
My name is Jim Franzone,

9
00:04:43,910 --> 00:04:46,519
I'm Assistant Dean for the
undergraduate program here,

10
00:04:46,519 --> 00:04:47,570
and I'm really, really

11
00:04:47,570 --> 00:04:49,354
thankful for all
of you joining us.

12
00:04:49,354 --> 00:04:50,900
And Bucky, I'm very thankful

13
00:04:50,900 --> 00:04:52,684
for you leaving everybody in.

14
00:04:52,684 --> 00:04:54,800
Thank you so much. We
appreciate your time.

15
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,819
We know it's very busy for Bucky this time of year.

16
00:04:57,540 --> 00:05:01,129
Graduates, you can
all be seated.

17
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,124
So two years ago,

18
00:05:08,124 --> 00:05:11,695
we planned to have an in-person
celebration like this.

19
00:05:11,695 --> 00:05:16,070
And that didn't work out
everybody...for reasons.

20
00:05:16,260 --> 00:05:18,729
And that's part of the why I'm

21
00:05:18,729 --> 00:05:20,619
so ecstatic that we
can be here with

22
00:05:20,619 --> 00:05:22,540
you and celebrating today in

23
00:05:22,540 --> 00:05:24,700
celebrating all of
your accomplishments,

24
00:05:24,700 --> 00:05:26,920
your perseverance,
and your graduation.

25
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,589
So our program this afternoon
is a pretty simple one.

26
00:05:29,589 --> 00:05:31,300
You're going to hear
from several speakers,

27
00:05:31,300 --> 00:05:33,790
including our Associate
Dean Brian Mayhew,

28
00:05:33,790 --> 00:05:35,980
BBA student Bryson Williams,

29
00:05:35,980 --> 00:05:38,804
and our Dean Sambamurthy.

30
00:05:38,804 --> 00:05:41,405
We're going to recognize some
accomplishments from folks,

31
00:05:41,405 --> 00:05:42,679
And then of course
we're going to read

32
00:05:42,679 --> 00:05:44,900
your names as you cross
the stage and receive

33
00:05:44,900 --> 00:05:48,290
your diploma covers.
Tomorrow at Camp Randall,

34
00:05:48,290 --> 00:05:50,945
Chancellor Blank, in
her last graduation,

35
00:05:50,945 --> 00:05:53,645
will confer your degrees
to you officially.

36
00:05:53,645 --> 00:05:56,405
So we're very excited,
and to start,

37
00:05:56,405 --> 00:06:00,140
I want to welcome the Arthur
Andersen Alumni Professor of

38
00:06:00,140 --> 00:06:02,000
Accounting and our
Associate Dean for

39
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,310
the Undergraduate
Program, Brian Mayhew.

40
00:06:13,270 --> 00:06:16,590
Welcome everybody, how are ya?

41
00:06:18,940 --> 00:06:21,139
Before I get going too much,

42
00:06:21,139 --> 00:06:23,615
I just want to say I'm
an alum of this program.

43
00:06:23,615 --> 00:06:28,880
I was you in the 80s.
Wasn't that long ago.

44
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,239
Anyway. I'm super excited
to have you all here.

45
00:06:32,239 --> 00:06:33,649
I'm super excited to be up here

46
00:06:33,649 --> 00:06:36,005
to talk to you for
just a few minutes.

47
00:06:36,005 --> 00:06:38,539
Let me start out
by saying this is

48
00:06:38,539 --> 00:06:40,325
my fifth year as associate dean.

49
00:06:40,325 --> 00:06:42,889
So I've been with
you the whole way.

50
00:06:42,889 --> 00:06:46,144
You came and visited
me in high school.

51
00:06:46,144 --> 00:06:49,399
And the first thing I did
during the admissions process,

52
00:06:49,399 --> 00:06:50,989
I said to your parents,

53
00:06:50,989 --> 00:06:53,449
my goal is these
kids don't live in

54
00:06:53,449 --> 00:06:56,489
your basement when we're done.

55
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:04,639
Okay. That was goal number one.

56
00:07:04,639 --> 00:07:08,840
Now, if you are planning
on living in the basement,

57
00:07:08,840 --> 00:07:13,234
number one, I still have a
career team ready to help you.

58
00:07:13,234 --> 00:07:15,320
Career coaches will
get you a job.

59
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,495
So mom, dad, aunts, uncles,

60
00:07:17,495 --> 00:07:20,914
anybody of influence, if they
don't have a job, call us.

61
00:07:20,914 --> 00:07:22,520
The e-mail address is

62
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:27,859
(sic) wsbcareers@wsb.wisc.edu

63
00:07:27,859 --> 00:07:30,755
Second of all, that
whole basement thing.

64
00:07:30,755 --> 00:07:35,030
I heard there's a lot of this
virtual working going on.

65
00:07:35,030 --> 00:07:37,489
If the kids are stuck
in the basement,

66
00:07:37,489 --> 00:07:39,605
maybe you can help them remodel.

67
00:07:39,605 --> 00:07:41,705
Kids, throw in a few bucks,

68
00:07:41,705 --> 00:07:43,850
get that perfect bar or work office

69
00:07:43,850 --> 00:07:46,129
mom and dad always wanted,

70
00:07:46,129 --> 00:07:47,059
It's the least you can
do if you've got

71
00:07:47,059 --> 00:07:48,454
to work there for awhile.

72
00:07:48,454 --> 00:07:49,834
Students,

73
00:07:49,834 --> 00:07:52,955
I met you first of all at a
thing called Convocation.

74
00:07:52,955 --> 00:07:55,805
I still don't really know
what that word means.

75
00:07:55,805 --> 00:07:58,640
But it was that week of

76
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,319
your freshman year when you came

77
00:08:00,319 --> 00:08:02,554
in or maybe your
sophomore in Pre-Bus,

78
00:08:02,554 --> 00:08:05,239
where we sort of
got you oriented.

79
00:08:05,239 --> 00:08:09,694
And the big thing I
said there is show up.

80
00:08:09,694 --> 00:08:12,229
Congratulations, you
showed up today.

81
00:08:12,229 --> 00:08:13,564
I'm excited. You've, you've,

82
00:08:13,564 --> 00:08:16,499
you've learned another
important lesson.

83
00:08:18,910 --> 00:08:20,764
Now.

84
00:08:20,764 --> 00:08:23,164
Since then you've been
doing things with us.

85
00:08:23,164 --> 00:08:27,229
Many of these things we'd
call signature experiences.

86
00:08:27,229 --> 00:08:29,000
You don't need to really
think about this too much,

87
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,274
but keep that word in your mind

88
00:08:30,274 --> 00:08:31,849
when you fill out forms later.

89
00:08:31,849 --> 00:08:33,424
Anyway, signature experiences.

90
00:08:33,424 --> 00:08:35,524
How many of you studied abroad?

91
00:08:35,524 --> 00:08:38,720
A few. You had you
had a tough thing.

92
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,760
Yeah. It's a sore subject.

93
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:46,160
Yeah. Well, come back

94
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,679
for a master's degree and
we'll send you abroad. Okay.

95
00:08:49,870 --> 00:08:52,069
How about case competitions?

96
00:08:52,069 --> 00:08:55,130
Anybody do any of
those? There we go.

97
00:08:55,130 --> 00:08:58,054
A little bit of
experiential learning.

98
00:08:58,054 --> 00:09:02,149
Yeah, Some employers come
and talk to you in class.

99
00:09:02,149 --> 00:09:04,520
Consulting for a
local company at

100
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,564
all or anybody who did a little of that? Come on, come on.

101
00:09:07,564 --> 00:09:09,154
All right, we've got
to work on that.

102
00:09:09,154 --> 00:09:11,330
Alright, That's how I learn.

103
00:09:11,330 --> 00:09:13,144
And then I know that really big

104
00:09:13,144 --> 00:09:15,019
signature experience we
all threw for you,

105
00:09:15,019 --> 00:09:18,004
the whole virtual learning
thing. Wasn't that awesome?

106
00:09:18,004 --> 00:09:19,954
Yeah, Yeah.

107
00:09:19,954 --> 00:09:21,529
You know, I don't want to talk about

108
00:09:21,529 --> 00:09:24,619
the pandemic much, just
for a second though.

109
00:09:24,619 --> 00:09:26,165
You guys did a great job.

110
00:09:26,165 --> 00:09:30,469
You adjusted to a very
challenging situation.

111
00:09:30,469 --> 00:09:38,780
So, that

112
00:09:38,780 --> 00:09:42,019
shows your adaptability, your resiliency.

113
00:09:42,019 --> 00:09:44,209
Unfortunately, you're just
gonna have to keep doing

114
00:09:44,209 --> 00:09:46,115
that as you go through life.

115
00:09:46,115 --> 00:09:48,169
And so maybe a little
bit harder way

116
00:09:48,169 --> 00:09:49,430
to learn than we
would have liked,

117
00:09:49,430 --> 00:09:53,104
but again, congratulations
on navigating that.

118
00:09:53,104 --> 00:09:54,815
So, I want to talk just a little bit

119
00:09:54,815 --> 00:09:57,380
about your career and where
you're going from here.

120
00:09:57,380 --> 00:10:00,170
We learned something
about data in the school.

121
00:10:00,170 --> 00:10:02,300
I hope you all have
some notion of data.

122
00:10:02,300 --> 00:10:04,010
This can be a little
bit of a theme here.

123
00:10:04,010 --> 00:10:07,190
But so far, 72% of

124
00:10:07,190 --> 00:10:10,655
you have told us what
you're doing next.

125
00:10:10,655 --> 00:10:13,670
The other 28%, I'm going to
talk to you in a minute.

126
00:10:13,670 --> 00:10:18,739
Those of you who told us 70%
of you have jobs lined up,

127
00:10:18,739 --> 00:10:21,509
you're going to work,
Congratulations.

128
00:10:25,860 --> 00:10:30,294
15% of you are going
to graduate school.

129
00:10:30,294 --> 00:10:33,349
So congratulations to that.

130
00:10:35,220 --> 00:10:38,094
15% are still seeking,

131
00:10:38,094 --> 00:10:43,389
again, (sic) wsbcareers@wisc.edu, yeah.

132
00:10:43,389 --> 00:10:45,310
So we can still help you.

133
00:10:45,310 --> 00:10:46,539
I really mean that I

134
00:10:46,539 --> 00:10:47,830
want to talk to you a
little bit about those.

135
00:10:47,830 --> 00:10:50,769
You do have your career
outcomes, I need your help.

136
00:10:50,769 --> 00:10:54,715
So, you know this
thing called rankings.

137
00:10:54,715 --> 00:10:57,340
They are actually a little
bit of a thorn in my side as

138
00:10:57,340 --> 00:11:00,445
Associate Dean, where we're
trying to be a top ten school.

139
00:11:00,445 --> 00:11:03,190
We need you to tell
us if you have a job,

140
00:11:03,190 --> 00:11:05,830
It's important, and it
counts toward our rankings.

141
00:11:05,830 --> 00:11:08,219
Like, how many of you get
jobs, please tell us.

142
00:11:08,219 --> 00:11:09,995
If you have a job,
don't make us go

143
00:11:09,995 --> 00:11:12,485
looking for you on LinkedIn
and all that jazz.

144
00:11:12,485 --> 00:11:14,344
And then tell us your salary.

145
00:11:14,344 --> 00:11:15,700
And I know you're like, why,

146
00:11:15,700 --> 00:11:16,999
why do you need to know that?

147
00:11:16,999 --> 00:11:19,205
Because it affects our rankings

148
00:11:19,205 --> 00:11:22,400
and because we live
in a data age.

149
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,220
Do you remember GB
306/307, data analytics.

150
00:11:25,220 --> 00:11:26,825
Where do you think
that data comes from?

151
00:11:26,825 --> 00:11:28,415
You, it's all of you!

152
00:11:28,415 --> 00:11:32,300
I need you to share
the data with us.

153
00:11:32,300 --> 00:11:33,904
So , if you would,

154
00:11:33,904 --> 00:11:36,350
I would really appreciate
you doing that.

155
00:11:36,350 --> 00:11:37,895
One last thing on that.

156
00:11:37,895 --> 00:11:40,954
Every year, my career
team can vouch for this,

157
00:11:40,954 --> 00:11:42,995
students, get offers from

158
00:11:42,995 --> 00:11:44,810
the many great partners we have.

159
00:11:44,810 --> 00:11:45,979
And they come to us to say,

160
00:11:45,979 --> 00:11:47,450
is this a good offer?

161
00:11:47,450 --> 00:11:49,655
Do you know how we know
if it's a good offer?

162
00:11:49,655 --> 00:11:51,590
You guys are graduated
before tell

163
00:11:51,590 --> 00:11:53,239
us so that we know
and we can say,

164
00:11:53,239 --> 00:11:55,760
"yeah, that's a good
offer" or "yeah, not so much".

165
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,710
So you need to help
me pay that forward.

166
00:11:57,710 --> 00:12:00,360
Just a, just a little bit.

167
00:12:00,730 --> 00:12:04,880
We do focus a lot about
careers and jobs here.

168
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,269
But I want to remind you
you're more than your career.

169
00:12:08,269 --> 00:12:10,805
You can do a lot
with your skills.

170
00:12:10,805 --> 00:12:13,579
You can engage that in
your life and a lot of

171
00:12:13,579 --> 00:12:16,819
different ways besides
just making money.

172
00:12:16,819 --> 00:12:18,320
I want you to just
take a minute and

173
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,899
reflect about your
time here at WSB.

174
00:12:20,899 --> 00:12:22,504
What did you learn?

175
00:12:22,504 --> 00:12:24,304
What did you take away?

176
00:12:24,304 --> 00:12:27,499
How did, how did you
grow in this time?

177
00:12:27,499 --> 00:12:30,784
If you can't think
about it right now,

178
00:12:30,784 --> 00:12:33,530
there's too much excitement
and take a few moments and

179
00:12:33,530 --> 00:12:36,994
the next day or two and
just kinda reflect on that.

180
00:12:36,994 --> 00:12:38,869
We really hope we gave you

181
00:12:38,869 --> 00:12:41,974
the skills to be
who you want to be.

182
00:12:41,974 --> 00:12:44,270
Not, not who I think
you should be,

183
00:12:44,270 --> 00:12:47,015
not who Samba thinks you
should be or your parents.

184
00:12:47,015 --> 00:12:48,485
Who do you want to be?

185
00:12:48,485 --> 00:12:50,239
Keep asking yourself that every

186
00:12:50,239 --> 00:12:54,269
day and you'll be doing
right by yourself and by us.

187
00:12:59,580 --> 00:13:03,835
So, you know we're a
secular university,

188
00:13:03,835 --> 00:13:05,920
we don't have religious ties.

189
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:07,299
But I like to think if you

190
00:13:07,299 --> 00:13:10,104
UW and the school of
business had a religion,

191
00:13:10,104 --> 00:13:13,885
there'd be two fundamental
principles to that.

192
00:13:13,885 --> 00:13:17,740
The first comes from
a plaque sitting on

193
00:13:17,740 --> 00:13:20,319
Bascom Hall from the late 1800s

194
00:13:20,319 --> 00:13:21,655
called sifting and winnowing.

195
00:13:21,655 --> 00:13:24,490
And so I'm just going to read
that to you for a second.

196
00:13:24,490 --> 00:13:26,769
"Whatever maybe the limitations

197
00:13:26,769 --> 00:13:29,094
which travel inquiry elsewhere.

198
00:13:29,094 --> 00:13:30,489
We believe that the great

199
00:13:30,489 --> 00:13:32,169
State University of
Wisconsin should

200
00:13:32,169 --> 00:13:35,214
ever encourage that
continually and fearless

201
00:13:35,214 --> 00:13:39,084
sifting and winnowing by alone,

202
00:13:39,084 --> 00:13:41,275
truth can be found."

203
00:13:41,275 --> 00:13:44,199
Let me try to say
that in modern words,

204
00:13:44,199 --> 00:13:47,754
at UW Madison were not afraid
to ask hard questions.

205
00:13:47,754 --> 00:13:49,225
We're not afraid to listen.

206
00:13:49,225 --> 00:13:50,560
We're not afraid to debate,

207
00:13:50,560 --> 00:13:52,989
and we're not afraid to
revise our beliefs as

208
00:13:52,989 --> 00:13:54,370
evidence is brought
forward that

209
00:13:54,370 --> 00:13:56,289
challenge our existing beliefs.

210
00:13:56,289 --> 00:13:58,029
I hope that you'll
leave here today

211
00:13:58,029 --> 00:13:59,875
with that same spirit
in your heart,

212
00:13:59,875 --> 00:14:02,305
that you will always
challenge your beliefs,

213
00:14:02,305 --> 00:14:04,179
that you won't be afraid
to evaluate things.

214
00:14:04,179 --> 00:14:06,340
You won't be afraid to call
things wrong that you think

215
00:14:06,340 --> 00:14:09,130
are wrong and call things right
that you think are right.

216
00:14:09,130 --> 00:14:11,049
And look for the truth.

217
00:14:11,049 --> 00:14:15,369
The second thing is something
we call the Wisconsin Idea.

218
00:14:15,369 --> 00:14:18,100
And this is a little harder
sometimes to explain,

219
00:14:18,100 --> 00:14:20,469
but the gist of it goes
something like this.

220
00:14:20,469 --> 00:14:22,870
That the influence and service of

221
00:14:22,870 --> 00:14:26,239
this university goes beyond
ourselves here in Madison,

222
00:14:26,239 --> 00:14:28,220
but to the boundaries
of the state.

223
00:14:28,220 --> 00:14:30,904
We hope even further than that.

224
00:14:30,904 --> 00:14:33,110
And so I want you to

225
00:14:33,110 --> 00:14:35,435
take that away as
individuals as well.

226
00:14:35,435 --> 00:14:37,609
You serve more than
just yourself.

227
00:14:37,609 --> 00:14:40,339
You have a broader impact,

228
00:14:40,339 --> 00:14:42,844
you're part of the bigger
world around you.

229
00:14:42,844 --> 00:14:44,660
I encourage you to engage it,

230
00:14:44,660 --> 00:14:46,744
to inform it, to learn from it.

231
00:14:46,744 --> 00:14:48,859
But I also want you
to remember to be

232
00:14:48,859 --> 00:14:51,544
you. Take time for yourself,

233
00:14:51,544 --> 00:14:53,810
make sure that you're
doing alright,

234
00:14:53,810 --> 00:14:56,450
and keep going. With that,

235
00:14:56,450 --> 00:14:58,639
let me say it's been a
tremendous honor to have you

236
00:14:58,639 --> 00:15:01,265
here with us at UW,

237
00:15:01,265 --> 00:15:03,365
and I hope you
never fully leave.

238
00:15:03,365 --> 00:15:05,600
I want to say
congratulations to you,

239
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,999
my fellow alumni, and On, Wisconsin.

240
00:15:18,220 --> 00:15:20,869
Thank you very much Brian.

241
00:15:20,869 --> 00:15:24,005
So, we had multiple students

242
00:15:24,005 --> 00:15:25,880
apply to be our student speaker.

243
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,490
Each of them had valuable
things they wanted to share.

244
00:15:28,490 --> 00:15:30,739
And valuable experiences
to learn from.

245
00:15:30,739 --> 00:15:33,964
Those experiences were impacted
by huge events, right?

246
00:15:33,964 --> 00:15:35,630
The pandemic, protests for

247
00:15:35,630 --> 00:15:37,310
racial justice
across the country,

248
00:15:37,310 --> 00:15:38,989
presidential elections
and of course,

249
00:15:38,989 --> 00:15:41,659
personal triumph and adversity.

250
00:15:41,659 --> 00:15:43,969
The applicants who sent in

251
00:15:43,969 --> 00:15:46,549
there 300 word summary

252
00:15:46,549 --> 00:15:48,155
of what they wanted
to speak about,

253
00:15:48,155 --> 00:15:50,539
they told us that they
made lifelong friends,

254
00:15:50,539 --> 00:15:53,030
they were first-generation
students,

255
00:15:53,030 --> 00:15:55,100
the first to graduate
in their families.

256
00:15:55,100 --> 00:15:57,350
They told us that the
pandemic forced them out of

257
00:15:57,350 --> 00:15:59,300
their residence
hall while also not

258
00:15:59,300 --> 00:16:01,430
having flights back home
to their home countries.

259
00:16:01,430 --> 00:16:02,840
So they didn't have
anywhere to live.

260
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,570
They talked about creating
new organizations such as

261
00:16:05,570 --> 00:16:07,190
"Diverse Leaders for
Tomorrow" to make

262
00:16:07,190 --> 00:16:09,139
the WSB a better place.

263
00:16:09,139 --> 00:16:10,760
About being resilient.

264
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,459
They wanted to share that
it is vital to remember

265
00:16:13,459 --> 00:16:16,190
businesses are no longer
about just making profit,

266
00:16:16,190 --> 00:16:17,719
they are there to make change

267
00:16:17,719 --> 00:16:19,999
and make the world
a better place.

268
00:16:19,999 --> 00:16:22,580
Our fellow graduates
also wanted us to

269
00:16:22,580 --> 00:16:24,499
remember that each and every one

270
00:16:24,499 --> 00:16:25,849
of you are worthy of

271
00:16:25,849 --> 00:16:28,924
occupying every space
that you enter into.

272
00:16:28,924 --> 00:16:31,249
One of the students
who was not chosen,

273
00:16:31,249 --> 00:16:34,325
but did in fact have my
favorite quote, simply wrote,

274
00:16:34,325 --> 00:16:36,110
"I made some mistakes.

275
00:16:36,110 --> 00:16:37,669
I did some things well.

276
00:16:37,669 --> 00:16:39,709
I broke my nose.

277
00:16:39,709 --> 00:16:43,024
I made lifelong friends
and countless memories.

278
00:16:43,024 --> 00:16:44,764
I'm not particularly special,

279
00:16:44,764 --> 00:16:46,519
but I cherished my time here."

280
00:16:46,519 --> 00:16:48,080
I just want to say
to that student

281
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:49,309
and to all of you graduating,

282
00:16:49,309 --> 00:16:51,499
I think you are all
particularly special.

283
00:16:51,499 --> 00:16:53,059
And that includes our chosen

284
00:16:53,059 --> 00:16:54,934
students speaker,
Bryson Williams.

285
00:16:54,934 --> 00:16:58,159
Bryson is a Finance,
Investment and Banking major.

286
00:16:58,159 --> 00:16:59,870
Bryson was a member
of the Sales,

287
00:16:59,870 --> 00:17:01,490
Trading, and Asset
Management Club,

288
00:17:01,490 --> 00:17:03,079
Delta Sigma Pi and,

289
00:17:03,079 --> 00:17:06,185
shout out
to Delta Sigma Pi,

290
00:17:06,185 --> 00:17:08,510
the Student-Athlete
Advisory Committee

291
00:17:08,510 --> 00:17:10,535
and the Diversity and
Inclusion Council.

292
00:17:10,535 --> 00:17:12,380
Bryson interned
at Morgan Stanley

293
00:17:12,380 --> 00:17:14,240
in the institutional
equity division

294
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:15,829
and will be joining
Morgan Stanley in

295
00:17:15,829 --> 00:17:18,200
New York City full-time
post graduation.

296
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,029
Bryson also played

297
00:17:20,029 --> 00:17:22,009
four seasons with the
UW football team,

298
00:17:22,009 --> 00:17:26,639
earning academic All Big
Ten Honors in '19, '20, and '21.

299
00:17:32,650 --> 00:17:35,885
Bryson is originally
from Lincoln, Nebraska,

300
00:17:35,885 --> 00:17:38,224
and I am delighted to
welcome to our stage.

301
00:17:38,224 --> 00:17:40,439
Let's have a round of
applause for Bryson.

302
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:54,439
Hello. You guys can hear me,
alright. Alright. Awesome.

303
00:17:54,439 --> 00:17:55,325
Awesome.

304
00:17:55,325 --> 00:17:59,690
Thank you. Thank you all so
much for being here today.

305
00:17:59,690 --> 00:18:03,289
The opportunity to be up
here and speak to you all.

306
00:18:03,289 --> 00:18:05,840
It's extremely humbling
and I want it to sincerely

307
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,930
thank and congratulate
everybody for being here,

308
00:18:08,930 --> 00:18:11,059
especially my fellow graduating

309
00:18:11,059 --> 00:18:14,459
class of 2022. Give
it up for yourselves.

310
00:18:14,530 --> 00:18:16,799
Right?

311
00:18:19,470 --> 00:18:22,359
I have a confession
I need to make.

312
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,235
A few of you know this.

313
00:18:24,235 --> 00:18:25,900
Well, most of you
probably don't.

314
00:18:25,900 --> 00:18:28,570
But on June 6, 2019,

315
00:18:28,570 --> 00:18:32,049
I received an email from the
admissions office that I had

316
00:18:32,049 --> 00:18:35,905
been denied from the
Wisconsin School of Business.

317
00:18:35,905 --> 00:18:38,079
Thanks for that, by the way.

318
00:18:38,079 --> 00:18:41,874
I haven't
forgotten about that.

319
00:18:41,874 --> 00:18:44,740
I read the e-mail over and

320
00:18:44,740 --> 00:18:46,839
over again just to make
sure what I was reading,

321
00:18:46,839 --> 00:18:49,810
what's correct and I
could not believe it.

322
00:18:49,810 --> 00:18:53,634
Now, I have failed at plenty of
things in my life before,

323
00:18:53,634 --> 00:18:56,769
trust me, plenty,
plenty of things.

324
00:18:56,769 --> 00:19:00,304
But this time, This
time it was different.

325
00:19:00,304 --> 00:19:02,329
Our business school was one of

326
00:19:02,329 --> 00:19:05,375
the main reasons that I
chose to come to Wisconsin.

327
00:19:05,375 --> 00:19:07,309
I understood the longevity of

328
00:19:07,309 --> 00:19:08,869
success that came along

329
00:19:08,869 --> 00:19:11,090
with graduating from
this institution.

330
00:19:11,090 --> 00:19:13,279
I understood that to
be where I wanted to

331
00:19:13,279 --> 00:19:16,820
be and to do the things that
I promised myself I would,

332
00:19:16,820 --> 00:19:19,205
This is where I needed to be.

333
00:19:19,205 --> 00:19:20,764
And with one e-mail,

334
00:19:20,764 --> 00:19:23,825
I felt it all fading away.

335
00:19:23,825 --> 00:19:26,045
So many different emotions

336
00:19:26,045 --> 00:19:27,635
and thoughts are running
through my head.

337
00:19:27,635 --> 00:19:29,824
Do I cry? Do I yell?

338
00:19:29,824 --> 00:19:32,180
Should I start looking
for new majors?

339
00:19:32,180 --> 00:19:34,490
But the question that
impacted me the most was

340
00:19:34,490 --> 00:19:38,370
how how am I going
to tell my mom?

341
00:19:38,590 --> 00:19:42,289
Growing up? My mom was
always there for me.

342
00:19:42,289 --> 00:19:44,029
She never missed the game,

343
00:19:44,029 --> 00:19:45,530
never missed a concert.

344
00:19:45,530 --> 00:19:48,845
My mom never missed a
moment in all my life,

345
00:19:48,845 --> 00:19:50,164
no matter what I was doing,

346
00:19:50,164 --> 00:19:52,640
was all in an effort
to make her proud

347
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,909
and show her how
grateful I truly was.

348
00:19:55,909 --> 00:19:58,190
After receiving that
rejection email,

349
00:19:58,190 --> 00:20:01,144
I knew I had to make a correction
to the life I was living.

350
00:20:01,144 --> 00:20:02,914
And I told myself
right then and there,

351
00:20:02,914 --> 00:20:07,430
we are going to fix this.
From that moment on.

352
00:20:07,430 --> 00:20:08,509
I made the adjustments and

353
00:20:08,509 --> 00:20:10,249
improvements to make
sure that the next

354
00:20:10,249 --> 00:20:13,535
time this application came
around, I would be ready.

355
00:20:13,535 --> 00:20:15,769
So no more sitting on my phone

356
00:20:15,769 --> 00:20:18,275
watching TikToks in the back of class.

357
00:20:18,275 --> 00:20:19,879
No more waiting for

358
00:20:19,879 --> 00:20:21,800
somebody else to raise
their hand first.

359
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,349
I was going to do whatever
it took to get to

360
00:20:24,349 --> 00:20:28,385
the position that I sought
after my first day on campus.

361
00:20:28,385 --> 00:20:30,320
And following that rejection,

362
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:31,940
I achieved an A in

363
00:20:31,940 --> 00:20:33,680
my first business
class that summer and

364
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,134
eventually made Dean's list

365
00:20:35,134 --> 00:20:37,354
the next two
following semesters.

366
00:20:37,354 --> 00:20:40,400
And this was all about
developing a genuine network of

367
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,515
highly motivated
people who are focused

368
00:20:42,515 --> 00:20:45,605
on a similar career
path to myself.

369
00:20:45,605 --> 00:20:47,209
And when the next opportunity

370
00:20:47,209 --> 00:20:48,785
came from me to apply again,

371
00:20:48,785 --> 00:20:50,660
I knew I was ready in

372
00:20:50,660 --> 00:20:54,590
one whole year of late nights
and early mornings later,

373
00:20:54,590 --> 00:20:57,635
I had finally received the
email I'd been waiting for.

374
00:20:57,635 --> 00:21:01,740
I was accepted into the
Wisconsin School of Business.

375
00:21:07,930 --> 00:21:11,240
The point I'm trying
to make is failure

376
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,105
is something that we could
easily let overcome us.

377
00:21:14,105 --> 00:21:16,280
But failing in itself,

378
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,699
It's usually just a course
correction to success.

379
00:21:19,699 --> 00:21:23,210
Success that depends on the
consistency of your effort.

380
00:21:23,210 --> 00:21:26,795
Just as much it does the
quality of your work,

381
00:21:26,795 --> 00:21:28,774
success that depends
on the person

382
00:21:28,774 --> 00:21:30,484
you are trying to become,

383
00:21:30,484 --> 00:21:33,620
not the person you once were.

384
00:21:33,620 --> 00:21:35,989
As we move on to
this next chapter,

385
00:21:35,989 --> 00:21:38,269
there will no doubt
be times that things

386
00:21:38,269 --> 00:21:40,715
don't go our way or we
don't get the credit.

387
00:21:40,715 --> 00:21:42,529
We believe we truly deserve.

388
00:21:42,529 --> 00:21:46,309
But reflecting, adjusting
and developing,

389
00:21:46,309 --> 00:21:49,879
that's what ultimately
makes all the difference.

390
00:21:49,879 --> 00:21:52,129
The last two years of
our college careers

391
00:21:52,129 --> 00:21:54,394
have been anything but simple.

392
00:21:54,394 --> 00:21:56,629
What is so unique about
our class is we were

393
00:21:56,629 --> 00:21:58,580
able to get a full
year-and-a-half of

394
00:21:58,580 --> 00:22:00,289
normal college before having

395
00:22:00,289 --> 00:22:02,735
our entire world
flipped upside down,

396
00:22:02,735 --> 00:22:04,760
we now had to face
challenges that

397
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,055
nobody could have
prepared us for.

398
00:22:07,055 --> 00:22:10,085
The restrictions and lock downs,

399
00:22:10,085 --> 00:22:12,230
separation from our families,

400
00:22:12,230 --> 00:22:14,584
dealing with the
future of uncertainty.

401
00:22:14,584 --> 00:22:16,339
And for some of us, we had to

402
00:22:16,339 --> 00:22:19,219
face the death of loved ones.

403
00:22:19,219 --> 00:22:20,959
And this was all during a

404
00:22:20,959 --> 00:22:22,159
time when the
country seemed to be

405
00:22:22,159 --> 00:22:25,369
splitting farther
and farther apart.

406
00:22:25,369 --> 00:22:28,774
Issues dealing with racial
and social injustice

407
00:22:28,774 --> 00:22:30,290
came to the forefront.

408
00:22:30,290 --> 00:22:32,629
People were finally
becoming aware of

409
00:22:32,629 --> 00:22:35,900
the things that had been
hidden for too long.

410
00:22:35,900 --> 00:22:40,040
And from this, we heard
voices from the inaudible.

411
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,439
We saw action by
those previously still.

412
00:22:42,439 --> 00:22:46,549
We came together as
a university and as a city.

413
00:22:46,549 --> 00:22:49,280
And we saw firsthand how
much more powerful we

414
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,865
are when we do things together.

415
00:22:52,865 --> 00:22:55,849
Right now, we live in
the world that tells

416
00:22:55,849 --> 00:22:58,444
you to hate those
you disagree with,

417
00:22:58,444 --> 00:23:02,239
rather than listen and
try to understand them.

418
00:23:02,239 --> 00:23:04,714
Where two sides can't
be right and the

419
00:23:04,714 --> 00:23:07,429
other is always wrong.

420
00:23:07,429 --> 00:23:09,904
Dr. Martin Luther King
Jr. once said quote,

421
00:23:09,904 --> 00:23:12,649
We must learn to live
together as brothers and

422
00:23:12,649 --> 00:23:16,399
sisters or perish
together as fools.

423
00:23:16,399 --> 00:23:18,499
You see the ultimate purpose of

424
00:23:18,499 --> 00:23:20,585
a bridge is to be
able to get across

425
00:23:20,585 --> 00:23:22,429
any obstacle and perform

426
00:23:22,429 --> 00:23:26,165
effective communication
between two destinations.

427
00:23:26,165 --> 00:23:27,874
And Class of 2022,

428
00:23:27,874 --> 00:23:29,929
I'm challenging
you and everybody

429
00:23:29,929 --> 00:23:32,269
else in here to be that
bridge that the world

430
00:23:32,269 --> 00:23:34,399
needs now more than ever to

431
00:23:34,399 --> 00:23:38,010
overcome the obstacles
that lie in front of us.

432
00:23:46,150 --> 00:23:48,530
My fellow graduates, we cannot

433
00:23:48,530 --> 00:23:50,209
forget the importance
of acknowledging

434
00:23:50,209 --> 00:23:51,875
the fact that despite everything

435
00:23:51,875 --> 00:23:53,810
that's happened over the
last couple of years,

436
00:23:53,810 --> 00:23:55,550
we have made it this far,

437
00:23:55,550 --> 00:23:58,489
which is an extraordinary
achievement in itself and

438
00:23:58,489 --> 00:24:02,254
something that each one
of us should be proud of.

439
00:24:02,254 --> 00:24:04,849
I ask you all that
as we move on to

440
00:24:04,849 --> 00:24:07,535
the next chapter to
remember two things.

441
00:24:07,535 --> 00:24:10,369
First, we have the opportunity

442
00:24:10,369 --> 00:24:12,829
of a lifetime right
in front of us,

443
00:24:12,829 --> 00:24:15,094
and we cannot let
that go to waste.

444
00:24:15,094 --> 00:24:17,330
We will have to navigate
the challenges of

445
00:24:17,330 --> 00:24:19,864
being in a new place
and with new people.

446
00:24:19,864 --> 00:24:22,130
So don't waste this opportunity

447
00:24:22,130 --> 00:24:24,725
doing a job that you
don't want to do.

448
00:24:24,725 --> 00:24:28,715
And don't waste your time
around people who do not enjoy.

449
00:24:28,715 --> 00:24:31,640
It's so critical to remember
that at the end of the day,

450
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,530
we really only do
get one chance at

451
00:24:33,530 --> 00:24:35,630
this life. And it truly is

452
00:24:35,630 --> 00:24:38,270
up to us to make
the most out of it.

453
00:24:38,270 --> 00:24:40,669
When you're doing
something that you love,

454
00:24:40,669 --> 00:24:44,164
that you enjoy, you inspire
others to do what they love.

455
00:24:44,164 --> 00:24:46,730
And you will create this
rippling effect that goes

456
00:24:46,730 --> 00:24:49,069
above and beyond what you or I

457
00:24:49,069 --> 00:24:51,845
could ever imagine.

458
00:24:51,845 --> 00:24:54,439
The second thing
I want you all to

459
00:24:54,439 --> 00:24:58,880
remember is what it truly
means to be a Badger.

460
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,490
Being a Badger isn't
about the flair,

461
00:25:01,490 --> 00:25:03,395
It isn't about the dazzle.

462
00:25:03,395 --> 00:25:07,100
It's about the work and effort
that we give day-in and

463
00:25:07,100 --> 00:25:08,869
day-out and making sure to

464
00:25:08,869 --> 00:25:12,095
have a hell of a
time while doing it.

465
00:25:12,095 --> 00:25:14,390
Coming from Wisconsin means we

466
00:25:14,390 --> 00:25:16,325
don't get things handed to us.

467
00:25:16,325 --> 00:25:18,695
We have to go out and we
have to work for them.

468
00:25:18,695 --> 00:25:21,560
And quite honestly, we don't
want it any other way.

469
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,464
It means that, yeah,
you know what?

470
00:25:23,464 --> 00:25:25,250
We may work all night during

471
00:25:25,250 --> 00:25:28,025
the week on a project,
studying, homework,

472
00:25:28,025 --> 00:25:32,060
but I guarantee you
when Saturday comes,

473
00:25:32,060 --> 00:25:33,695
and it's time to jump around again,

474
00:25:33,695 --> 00:25:37,114
We will all be ready
for the occasion.

475
00:25:37,114 --> 00:25:39,050
Being a Badger means that no

476
00:25:39,050 --> 00:25:40,940
matter where we
are in this world,

477
00:25:40,940 --> 00:25:45,300
we will always have a
place to call home.

478
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,109
Before I end this speech,

479
00:25:48,109 --> 00:25:49,399
I would like to
thank everyone in

480
00:25:49,399 --> 00:25:52,310
my life that's helped me
get to this position.

481
00:25:52,310 --> 00:25:55,370
I want to thank my
family for sticking by

482
00:25:55,370 --> 00:25:58,430
my side through all
the ups and downs.

483
00:25:58,430 --> 00:26:02,420
Specifically, I want
to thank my mom.

484
00:26:02,420 --> 00:26:03,769
Oh, boy.

485
00:26:03,769 --> 00:26:08,780
Alright. For other
sacrifices that you've

486
00:26:08,780 --> 00:26:11,569
made, for all the hours

487
00:26:11,569 --> 00:26:14,150
that you traveled just for
me to get to this position,

488
00:26:14,150 --> 00:26:17,449
that I'm at right now,
I can't cry because I'll look at you, mom.

489
00:26:17,449 --> 00:26:21,200
I love you though. I want
to thank you for instilling

490
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,270
the spirit of determination and

491
00:26:23,270 --> 00:26:26,539
excellence in me
at a young age.

492
00:26:26,539 --> 00:26:30,470
I plan on living life the
same way I always have.

493
00:26:30,470 --> 00:26:33,905
And that is to continue
to make you proud.

494
00:26:33,905 --> 00:26:36,679
I want to thank my
friends and classmates.

495
00:26:36,679 --> 00:26:38,134
As without all of you,

496
00:26:38,134 --> 00:26:40,399
this journey would not
have been the same.

497
00:26:40,399 --> 00:26:42,889
I'm leaving this university
with memories of

498
00:26:42,889 --> 00:26:45,515
late nights, of long days.

499
00:26:45,515 --> 00:26:48,410
The tough, tough Friday and

500
00:26:48,410 --> 00:26:49,879
Sunday mornings after night at

501
00:26:49,879 --> 00:26:51,404
the KK, Listen,
we've all been there.

502
00:26:51,404 --> 00:26:52,880
Okay. Gotta do it.

503
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:57,920
And with friends that I
will now call family.

504
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,175
And on behalf of all the
Business Badgers in attendance,

505
00:27:01,175 --> 00:27:04,430
I would like to thank the
Wisconsin School of Business.

506
00:27:04,430 --> 00:27:08,480
This school has changed my
life and the trajectory of

507
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,089
my family's life in a
way I could have never

508
00:27:11,089 --> 00:27:14,210
imagined. You brought me opportunities

509
00:27:14,210 --> 00:27:17,299
I never dreamed of,
brought me friendships.

510
00:27:17,299 --> 00:27:19,655
I would have never
otherwise had.

511
00:27:19,655 --> 00:27:22,819
But most importantly,
you gave me and

512
00:27:22,819 --> 00:27:24,334
every other graduate in here

513
00:27:24,334 --> 00:27:26,329
an experience of a lifetime.

514
00:27:26,329 --> 00:27:28,699
And we will never forget that.

515
00:27:28,699 --> 00:27:31,610
And for that, I am
forever grateful.

516
00:27:31,610 --> 00:27:33,185
And I'm forever thankful.

517
00:27:33,185 --> 00:27:36,749
Thank you all so much,
and On, Wisconsin.

518
00:27:57,990 --> 00:28:00,669
Thank you so much, Bryson.

519
00:28:00,669 --> 00:28:02,950
So at this time, we
want to recognize

520
00:28:02,950 --> 00:28:05,649
individuals and groups
within our graduating class.

521
00:28:05,649 --> 00:28:07,630
So as I make these recognitions

522
00:28:07,630 --> 00:28:09,999
stand up briefly
and we'll applaud,

523
00:28:09,999 --> 00:28:11,665
and then you can sit back down.

524
00:28:11,665 --> 00:28:13,524
So we first want to acknowledge

525
00:28:13,524 --> 00:28:14,980
our WSB graduates with

526
00:28:14,980 --> 00:28:16,674
distinctive scholastic
achievement.

527
00:28:16,674 --> 00:28:18,789
You have the red stoles
on and you are in the top

528
00:28:18,789 --> 00:28:22,249
20% of your class, please stand.

529
00:28:28,060 --> 00:28:31,290
Excellent, You can sit.

530
00:28:33,670 --> 00:28:36,409
So. Next, I'd like all of

531
00:28:36,409 --> 00:28:40,115
our presidents of student
organizations to stand.

532
00:28:40,115 --> 00:28:43,379
Thank you all for
your leadership.

533
00:28:48,910 --> 00:28:51,319
And then anyone else who held

534
00:28:51,319 --> 00:28:55,080
a leadership position in a
student org, please stand up.

535
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,829
Our student organizations are

536
00:29:03,829 --> 00:29:04,849
such an important part of

537
00:29:04,849 --> 00:29:05,989
the Wisconsin
School of Business,

538
00:29:05,989 --> 00:29:07,970
experience, and we truly

539
00:29:07,970 --> 00:29:09,200
appreciate everything
you've done

540
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,404
to make those orgs happen.

541
00:29:11,404 --> 00:29:14,000
We'd also like to acknowledge

542
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,189
any Student-Athletes
who are graduating.

543
00:29:16,189 --> 00:29:21,749
If you'd stand, I know we
have one, awesome thank you all.

544
00:29:28,570 --> 00:29:31,070
All of our
international students

545
00:29:31,070 --> 00:29:32,569
who have had to
deal with a lot of

546
00:29:32,569 --> 00:29:36,929
difficulty with COVID and
travel and visas. Please stand.

547
00:29:45,700 --> 00:29:49,039
Any students who served
or are serving in

548
00:29:49,039 --> 00:29:52,650
the military or ROTC,
please stand up.

549
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,879
I was the first person
to be able to go to

550
00:30:04,879 --> 00:30:06,785
college in my family.

551
00:30:06,785 --> 00:30:08,990
And it was a hard
process because I didn't

552
00:30:08,990 --> 00:30:11,224
always know exactly
what school meant.

553
00:30:11,224 --> 00:30:13,160
And so recognizing those

554
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:14,959
of you who are
first-generation students,

555
00:30:14,959 --> 00:30:17,160
would you please stand up?

556
00:30:26,950 --> 00:30:30,050
So we have a group of students
whose experience with

557
00:30:30,050 --> 00:30:32,030
the Wisconsin School
of Business actually

558
00:30:32,030 --> 00:30:34,865
started seven years ago when
they were in high school.

559
00:30:34,865 --> 00:30:36,964
And if all my Wisconsin

560
00:30:36,964 --> 00:30:39,214
Business Emerging Leaders students

561
00:30:39,214 --> 00:30:41,435
would stand up who
are graduating today.

562
00:30:41,435 --> 00:30:44,129
Congratulations to you all.

563
00:30:50,890 --> 00:30:53,629
Then we have folks who
can't get enough of

564
00:30:53,629 --> 00:30:55,009
the Wisconsin School
of Business and

565
00:30:55,009 --> 00:30:56,509
so they're going to keep going.

566
00:30:56,509 --> 00:30:58,970
So anyone joining
our IMAcc programs,

567
00:30:58,970 --> 00:31:01,220
Finance and Applied
Security Program or any

568
00:31:01,220 --> 00:31:04,589
of our other masters
programs, please stand up.

569
00:31:10,630 --> 00:31:12,245
Awesome.

570
00:31:12,245 --> 00:31:14,105
And then, is
there anyone else,

571
00:31:14,105 --> 00:31:16,220
Anyone else going into
graduate school who

572
00:31:16,220 --> 00:31:18,500
also just wants
to go right back

573
00:31:18,500 --> 00:31:19,880
into books as soon as possible

574
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:20,900
if you're going to grad school

575
00:31:20,900 --> 00:31:24,420
after this or law school
or med, please stand up.

576
00:31:30,580 --> 00:31:32,749
So graduates, I'd actually

577
00:31:32,749 --> 00:31:34,984
like all of you to stand up now.

578
00:31:34,984 --> 00:31:38,119
Thank you. No, you don't
need to applaud them

579
00:31:38,119 --> 00:31:39,830
because what I'd
like you to do is

580
00:31:39,830 --> 00:31:41,719
turn and please
applaud your families.

581
00:31:41,719 --> 00:31:43,759
Your parents got
guardians, brothers,

582
00:31:43,759 --> 00:31:45,935
sisters, moms, dads, aunts,

583
00:31:45,935 --> 00:31:48,559
uncles, all those who
have supported you

584
00:31:48,559 --> 00:31:51,365
over the last four to five, six, years.

585
00:31:51,365 --> 00:31:53,119
Truly, everyone in this room,

586
00:31:53,119 --> 00:31:55,590
they could not have
done that without you.

587
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,669
So our final speaker
is celebrating

588
00:31:58,669 --> 00:32:01,195
the completion of his
third year at the WSB.

589
00:32:01,195 --> 00:32:02,825
So he's not a graduate yet.

590
00:32:02,825 --> 00:32:06,665
But this is also his first
completely in-person year.

591
00:32:06,665 --> 00:32:09,335

00:32:32,989 --> 00:32:35,180

and has co-authored

613
00:32:51,199 --> 00:32:54,720
Please welcome our
dean, Dean Samba.

614
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,709
Class of 2022.

615
00:33:08,709 --> 00:33:13,910
You've done it. What's more
important is I've done it.

616
00:33:14,100 --> 00:33:19,299
It's taken me three years
to have this party.

617
00:33:19,299 --> 00:33:23,380
When I came here in July 2019,

618
00:33:23,380 --> 00:33:24,909
I said to Jim,

619
00:33:24,909 --> 00:33:27,549
Jim, why don't we have a party?

620
00:33:27,549 --> 00:33:30,370
And who knew about the pandemic?

621
00:33:30,370 --> 00:33:31,735
But here we are.

622
00:33:31,735 --> 00:33:33,999
And congratulations.

623
00:33:33,999 --> 00:33:38,904
What a great moment this
is because you earned it.

624
00:33:38,904 --> 00:33:42,145
And we are here
to celebrate you.

625
00:33:42,145 --> 00:33:45,580
Thank you Bryson for
those inspirational words

626
00:33:45,580 --> 00:33:49,249
and thank you mom for
sending Bryson to us.

627
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:54,185
Your journey at the
Wisconsin School of Business

628
00:33:54,185 --> 00:33:57,170
began a year before
I arrived here.

629
00:33:57,170 --> 00:33:58,880
So I can't pretend to claim

630
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:00,964
that I know
everything about you,

631
00:34:00,964 --> 00:34:05,209
but I know some about you
because at some point I had to

632
00:34:05,209 --> 00:34:09,319
go behind the Zoom screen and
not necessarily by choice.

633
00:34:09,319 --> 00:34:12,725
But here we are face to face.

634
00:34:12,725 --> 00:34:15,305
During this four years,

635
00:34:15,305 --> 00:34:17,990
regardless of what surprises and

636
00:34:17,990 --> 00:34:21,215
challenges have
been thrown at you,

637
00:34:21,215 --> 00:34:23,765
you have been steadfast.

638
00:34:23,765 --> 00:34:26,659
You've been engaged, you've been

639
00:34:26,659 --> 00:34:30,800
passionate about your education,
friendships, and growth.

640
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,650
That's the spirit
of a true badger.

641
00:34:33,650 --> 00:34:36,454
I've heard of your
accomplishments.

642
00:34:36,454 --> 00:34:38,479
There are many, many,

643
00:34:38,479 --> 00:34:40,775
but here are some examples.

644
00:34:40,775 --> 00:34:43,459
Many of you have
been involved in

645
00:34:43,459 --> 00:34:47,359
volunteer service in
our local community.

646
00:34:47,359 --> 00:34:52,220
You've taken on roles in student
organizations and clubs.

647
00:34:52,220 --> 00:34:56,705
You acted as a mentor
or a tutor to others.

648
00:34:56,705 --> 00:34:59,750
You've even worked directly in

649
00:34:59,750 --> 00:35:03,755
the school to shape
this very own program.

650
00:35:03,755 --> 00:35:07,925
One of you started for
a petition for what's now

651
00:35:07,925 --> 00:35:11,404
our Multicultural Student
Center. Thank you, Nalah.

652
00:35:11,404 --> 00:35:21,279
One of you

653
00:35:21,279 --> 00:35:24,579
lead the UW student association

654
00:35:24,579 --> 00:35:25,819
as president. Thank you, Pranav.

655
00:35:33,030 --> 00:35:34,690
one of your

656
00:35:34,690 --> 00:35:38,095
created a new student
organization,

657
00:35:38,095 --> 00:35:40,719
the Diverse Leaders
for Tomorrow.

658
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:47,709
Thank you, Jordan. You started

659
00:35:47,709 --> 00:35:52,179
your own undergraduate
affinity group.

660
00:35:52,179 --> 00:35:59,844
Thank you, Lilly. You have

661
00:35:59,844 --> 00:36:05,484
among you a two time women's
hockey national champion.

662
00:36:05,484 --> 00:36:08,660
Congratulations, Grace Bowlby.

663
00:36:14,100 --> 00:36:16,809
The collegiate DECA,

664
00:36:16,809 --> 00:36:20,020
the UW Madison chapter, has been

665
00:36:20,020 --> 00:36:23,020
breaking records every year for

666
00:36:23,020 --> 00:36:25,270
the number of
members selected for

667
00:36:25,270 --> 00:36:27,249
the international
career development

668
00:36:27,249 --> 00:36:29,785
conference and competition.

669
00:36:29,785 --> 00:36:35,500
I'm so proud of the fact
that at the 2022 ICDC,

670
00:36:35,500 --> 00:36:38,565
competitive events,

671
00:36:38,565 --> 00:36:43,159
our chapter had five
top-three winners

672
00:36:43,159 --> 00:36:45,035
in the various categories,

673
00:36:45,035 --> 00:36:48,635
plus 16 top-ten finalists.

674
00:36:48,635 --> 00:36:51,334
Thank you for leaving
something for the others,

675
00:36:51,334 --> 00:37:01,159
but congratulations.
Two BBA graduates

676
00:37:01,159 --> 00:37:03,979
were first place winners for

677
00:37:03,979 --> 00:37:07,369
the UW Madison student
employee of the year.

678
00:37:07,369 --> 00:37:13,499
Congratulations, Madeline
Mortell, 2020-2021.

679
00:37:19,090 --> 00:37:24,110
And Dakota Roettger. Having
a name like mine,

680
00:37:24,110 --> 00:37:26,765
I'm very conscious of
spoiling others' names.

681
00:37:26,765 --> 00:37:28,294
21-22.

682
00:37:28,294 --> 00:37:30,929
Congratulations to both of you.

683
00:37:33,850 --> 00:37:36,259
You have interned

684
00:37:36,259 --> 00:37:40,340
at numerous companies across
the breadth of the country.

685
00:37:40,340 --> 00:37:44,119
You are headed to
rewarding jobs 72%.

686
00:37:44,119 --> 00:37:45,500
And if you're in the basement,

687
00:37:45,500 --> 00:37:47,344
it's only because you're

688
00:37:47,344 --> 00:37:49,924
redecorating your
parents' basement

689
00:37:49,924 --> 00:37:52,474
with your new-found wealth.

690
00:37:52,474 --> 00:37:55,909
You are headed for
rewarding careers,

691
00:37:55,909 --> 00:38:00,139
both in the new economy as
well as in the old economy.

692
00:38:00,139 --> 00:38:01,730
The world is just waiting to

693
00:38:01,730 --> 00:38:04,624
discover your talent
across the globe.

694
00:38:04,624 --> 00:38:08,255
Congratulations for
marking your time here

695
00:38:08,255 --> 00:38:13,080
with your success and
impact. We are proud of you.

696
00:38:18,310 --> 00:38:21,604
There's no doubt
that you have left

697
00:38:21,604 --> 00:38:26,059
an indelible mark on the
Wisconsin School of Business.

698
00:38:26,059 --> 00:38:28,880
It is not surprising.

699
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:32,510
When I first came
here three years ago,

700
00:38:32,510 --> 00:38:34,925
I asked the following question.

701
00:38:34,925 --> 00:38:38,615
What makes Business
Badgers special?

702
00:38:38,615 --> 00:38:39,860
Not that I didn't know,

703
00:38:39,860 --> 00:38:42,395
otherwise, I would not
have taken this job.

704
00:38:42,395 --> 00:38:45,755
What makes Business
Badgers special?

705
00:38:45,755 --> 00:38:49,430
I heard tales of grit.

706
00:38:49,430 --> 00:38:53,389
I heard that Badgers dig in.

707
00:38:53,389 --> 00:38:57,860
I heard that Badgers are
smart, can't deny that.

708
00:38:57,860 --> 00:39:00,470
Badgers build a place,

709
00:39:00,470 --> 00:39:02,375
they don't start from the top,

710
00:39:02,375 --> 00:39:03,920
unlike that other school that I

711
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,739
used to look at when
I was in Michigan.

712
00:39:06,739 --> 00:39:10,140
And I don't mean Michigan State.

713
00:39:12,190 --> 00:39:14,989
Badgers are humble.

714
00:39:14,989 --> 00:39:17,000
They are tenacious.

715
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:20,645
In my three years I found
all of these are true,

716
00:39:20,645 --> 00:39:23,629
but above all, what I

717
00:39:23,629 --> 00:39:28,120
learned is badgers
are Trusted to Lead.

718
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:30,220
What does that mean?

719
00:39:30,220 --> 00:39:33,789
Badgers do business differently.

720
00:39:33,789 --> 00:39:38,960
Badgers chase dreams
that don't come easy.

721
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:43,095
Badgers pursue ideas
that just won't quit.

722
00:39:43,095 --> 00:39:45,569
I think there's a song
like that somewhere.

723
00:39:45,569 --> 00:39:49,724
They have the confidence
to create the unexpected.

724
00:39:49,724 --> 00:39:51,494
They find ways,

725
00:39:51,494 --> 00:39:53,354
when there is no clear path,

726
00:39:53,354 --> 00:39:55,935
there's no blueprint,
because they build one.

727
00:39:55,935 --> 00:40:00,675
Badger leaders know
that we are stronger

728
00:40:00,675 --> 00:40:03,389
when we move forward together.

729
00:40:03,389 --> 00:40:06,705
We grow, we move ideas,

730
00:40:06,705 --> 00:40:09,760
people, and vision forward.

731
00:40:09,830 --> 00:40:12,899
During my travels for

732
00:40:12,899 --> 00:40:15,899
the six months that I
could actually travel,

733
00:40:15,899 --> 00:40:18,615
I went across the country

734
00:40:18,615 --> 00:40:22,125
to discover what
makes Badgers great.

735
00:40:22,125 --> 00:40:24,810
I met Jake Wood,

736
00:40:24,810 --> 00:40:26,685
a fellow Business Badger,

737
00:40:26,685 --> 00:40:28,379
who also played football,

738
00:40:28,379 --> 00:40:32,925
who launched Team
Rubicon and Groundswell,

739
00:40:32,925 --> 00:40:35,819
and created a bold new model for

740
00:40:35,819 --> 00:40:38,414
charitable giving so that

741
00:40:38,414 --> 00:40:42,399
others can have an everlasting
impact on the world.

742
00:40:42,470 --> 00:40:45,419
I met Cynthia Chu,

743
00:40:45,419 --> 00:40:48,135
whose journey started in Asia.

744
00:40:48,135 --> 00:40:51,210
And she came through Madison to

745
00:40:51,210 --> 00:40:52,919
her current role as

746
00:40:52,919 --> 00:40:55,469
the Chief Financial
Officer of Audible.

747
00:40:55,469 --> 00:40:57,360
Many of you probably listened to

748
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:00,029
Audible books, and it was
a great pleasure to meet

749
00:41:00,029 --> 00:41:03,284
Cynthia. And find out

750
00:41:03,284 --> 00:41:07,409
how her journey took her
to unexpected places.

751
00:41:07,409 --> 00:41:10,920
I met Reena Vokoun, who merged

752
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:13,649
her passion
for wellness with

753
00:41:13,649 --> 00:41:17,130
her entrepreneurial
instincts shaped in Madison

754
00:41:17,130 --> 00:41:20,849
and polished her instincts

755
00:41:20,849 --> 00:41:22,514
through a career at Google

756
00:41:22,514 --> 00:41:24,779
to start her own company today.

757
00:41:24,779 --> 00:41:26,744
These are only a few examples

758
00:41:26,744 --> 00:41:28,695
of business badgers who have

759
00:41:28,695 --> 00:41:33,044
excelled in defining the
purpose of business.

760
00:41:33,044 --> 00:41:36,420
It's not just to create
industry leadership,

761
00:41:36,420 --> 00:41:39,014
but it is to influence lives,

762
00:41:39,014 --> 00:41:43,440
make the world a better
place and improve society.

763
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:47,984
Among you, the next generation
of Business Badgers,

764
00:41:47,984 --> 00:41:51,255
I see the next Reena Vokoun.

765
00:41:51,255 --> 00:41:54,375
I see the next Jake Wood.

766
00:41:54,375 --> 00:41:59,669
I see the next Cynthia Chu
and I see many others.

767
00:41:59,669 --> 00:42:03,479
You will leave Madison to
shape your own destiny.

768
00:42:03,479 --> 00:42:05,970
You will marry the
knowledge, skills,

769
00:42:05,970 --> 00:42:09,794
and experiences that
you have acquired here.

770
00:42:09,794 --> 00:42:13,274
And marry that with
your own passion,

771
00:42:13,274 --> 00:42:16,619
with your life dreams,
your aspirations.

772
00:42:16,619 --> 00:42:21,284
We know that your path will
be paved with challenges.

773
00:42:21,284 --> 00:42:23,835
There will be unexpected moments

774
00:42:23,835 --> 00:42:25,710
where you will be tested.

775
00:42:25,710 --> 00:42:29,639
But your persistence will

776
00:42:29,639 --> 00:42:33,179
be tempered with moments
of joy and pride.

777
00:42:33,179 --> 00:42:38,489
When you succeed. You will
find what truly motivates you,

778
00:42:38,489 --> 00:42:41,489
And you will have the power to

779
00:42:41,489 --> 00:42:45,405
affect meaningful change for
the rest of your career.

780
00:42:45,405 --> 00:42:49,649
We know it because
you've already done it.

781
00:42:49,649 --> 00:42:52,349
You know that the only thing

782
00:42:52,349 --> 00:42:56,880
constant in the world you
go out to is change.

783
00:42:56,880 --> 00:43:00,765
And, you are the ones who drive the change.

784
00:43:00,765 --> 00:43:03,810
I know however, that you will endure

785
00:43:03,810 --> 00:43:06,600
the highs and
lows in your career,

786
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:08,940
with the true badger spirit,

787
00:43:08,940 --> 00:43:15,730
with grace, with humility,
and with companionship.

788
00:43:16,580 --> 00:43:20,610
Along with your
professors, teachers,

789
00:43:20,610 --> 00:43:23,084
staff in the BBA program who

790
00:43:23,084 --> 00:43:25,694
enable your journey
and numerous others.

791
00:43:25,694 --> 00:43:29,279
We can't wait to
hear the stories of

792
00:43:29,279 --> 00:43:34,470
your success and impact and
how you are trusted to lead.

793
00:43:34,470 --> 00:43:36,855
On this day.

794
00:43:36,855 --> 00:43:39,074
In this moment.

795
00:43:39,074 --> 00:43:41,460
Let us join in

796
00:43:41,460 --> 00:43:44,769
thanking your families
who are here with you.

797
00:43:50,420 --> 00:43:54,509
They were there with you
at the magical moment

798
00:43:54,509 --> 00:43:58,079
when you found out that your
path heads to Wisconsin.

799
00:43:58,079 --> 00:44:00,810
And maybe immediately
first try,

800
00:44:00,810 --> 00:44:02,579
second try, immediately,

801
00:44:02,579 --> 00:44:05,550
eventually to the Wisconsin
School of Business.

802
00:44:05,550 --> 00:44:08,069
They were there to celebrate

803
00:44:08,069 --> 00:44:12,029
every moment to ask you
to hang in there and to

804
00:44:12,029 --> 00:44:14,985
tell you that there is a light

805
00:44:14,985 --> 00:44:18,870
no matter how faint
it looks today.

806
00:44:18,870 --> 00:44:21,400
So thank you, families.

807
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:25,849
Let us not forget the staff in

808
00:44:25,849 --> 00:44:27,800
the BBA Program Office

809
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:29,810
who've been your
biggest advocates.

810
00:44:29,810 --> 00:44:32,854
And I know it because
Jim is in my office.

811
00:44:32,854 --> 00:44:37,234
Mentors and guides
throughout your journey.

812
00:44:37,234 --> 00:44:40,145
I see many of our staff here.

813
00:44:41,585 --> 00:44:43,924
Jim, thank you to your entire team

814
00:44:43,924 --> 00:44:46,940
for bringing this
cohort to graduation,

815
00:44:46,940 --> 00:44:48,754
but also for organizing

816
00:44:48,754 --> 00:44:51,949
today's event as a
grand celebration.

817
00:44:51,949 --> 00:44:55,354
Special thanks to
Jenny for taking

818
00:44:55,354 --> 00:44:57,019
our dream and making it

819
00:44:57,019 --> 00:44:59,820
a real vision.
Thank you everyone.

820
00:45:06,250 --> 00:45:09,739
Finally, Business Badgers,

821
00:45:09,739 --> 00:45:12,064
As you graduate and enter

822
00:45:12,064 --> 00:45:15,679
the vast community of alumni,

823
00:45:15,679 --> 00:45:20,435
I remind you, what
makes this place great,

824
00:45:20,435 --> 00:45:23,570
Beyond the faculty,
beyond the instructors,

825
00:45:23,570 --> 00:45:28,669
beyond the staff, beyond the
students, are the alumni.

826
00:45:28,669 --> 00:45:32,750
I have never found alumni
who are more loyal,

827
00:45:32,750 --> 00:45:36,170
who are more passionate,
and so proud.

828
00:45:36,170 --> 00:45:40,160
Badger alumni give
back in all ways.

829
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:44,465
Your success is in a small way

830
00:45:44,465 --> 00:45:48,069
because of those who have
continued to give back.

831
00:45:48,069 --> 00:45:49,635
In a way,

832
00:45:49,635 --> 00:45:52,709
you are riding on
the shoulders of

833
00:45:52,709 --> 00:45:55,620
those angels who have
gone through this place

834
00:45:55,620 --> 00:45:58,319
before you and what a
great community you

835
00:45:58,319 --> 00:46:01,844
will be entering in
tomorrow at your graduation.

836
00:46:01,844 --> 00:46:05,129
So be those angels
from tomorrow.

837
00:46:05,129 --> 00:46:08,834
Be proud of being
a Business Badger.

838
00:46:08,834 --> 00:46:12,375
Be our ambassadors
and advocates,

839
00:46:12,375 --> 00:46:14,820
come back often to

840
00:46:14,820 --> 00:46:18,480
mentor the next generation
of Business Badgers.

841
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:22,604
Come back to say hello to
your professors, teachers,

842
00:46:22,604 --> 00:46:25,799
career advisors,
academic tutors,

843
00:46:25,799 --> 00:46:28,965
and numerous others who
influenced you.

844
00:46:28,965 --> 00:46:30,839
Come and see me, wherever

845
00:46:30,839 --> 00:46:33,945
you are because I
will be traveling.

846
00:46:33,945 --> 00:46:40,140
So class of 2022, take
out your shades because

847
00:46:40,140 --> 00:46:42,240
your future is so bright

848
00:46:42,240 --> 00:46:46,660
that this is the only
way to look ahead. Congratulations!

849
00:47:09,980 --> 00:47:12,254
Thank you, Dean Samba.

850
00:47:12,254 --> 00:47:14,159
So at this time we are gonna get

851
00:47:14,159 --> 00:47:15,989
ready to read the names of

852
00:47:15,989 --> 00:47:17,699
our graduates and
have them cross

853
00:47:17,699 --> 00:47:19,859
the stage and receive
their diploma cover.

854
00:47:19,859 --> 00:47:23,729
Guests, we ask
that you please stay

855
00:47:23,729 --> 00:47:25,889
seated and away from the
professional photographers who

856
00:47:25,889 --> 00:47:28,455
are capturing graduates as
they walk across the stage.

857
00:47:28,455 --> 00:47:31,559
And we ask our graduates to
return to their seats after

858
00:47:31,559 --> 00:47:34,694
receiving their diploma
covers and pictures here.

859
00:47:34,694 --> 00:47:36,939
On the end of the stage.

860
00:47:36,950 --> 00:47:39,359
We're going to start
in a few minutes.

861
00:47:39,359 --> 00:47:40,965
We'll let our ushers
get into place

862
00:47:40,965 --> 00:47:42,810
and they will guide you
through everything.

863
00:47:42,810 --> 00:47:44,189
But otherwise,

864
00:47:44,189 --> 00:47:46,725
Yeah, this is the
part where we get to

865
00:47:46,725 --> 00:47:48,750
acknowledge you individually,
every one of you.

866
00:47:48,750 --> 00:47:49,985
So we're excited.

1244
01:17:43,754 --> 01:17:45,795
the University of
Wisconsin - Madison.

1245
01:17:45,795 --> 01:17:47,310
And on behalf of
the business school

1246
01:17:47,310 --> 01:17:49,140
and everyone in
attendance today,

1247
01:17:49,140 --> 01:17:50,969
I wish you all the very best in

1248
01:17:50,969 --> 01:17:53,084
your very, very bright futures.

1249
01:17:53,084 --> 01:17:54,630
I truly encourage you to stay

1250
01:17:54,630 --> 01:17:56,699
connected to us, to
your departments,

1251
01:17:56,699 --> 01:17:58,259
to your faculty, into
the friends you've

1252
01:17:58,259 --> 01:18:00,900
made here throughout
your education.

1253
01:18:00,900 --> 01:18:02,640
And if we could give our
graduates a round of

1254
01:18:02,640 --> 01:18:05,320
applause one more
time, congratulations.

1255
01:18:14,840 --> 01:18:18,209
Dean Samba asked me
to remind you to do

1256
01:18:18,209 --> 01:18:19,769
one thing for him tomorrow and

1257
01:18:19,769 --> 01:18:21,420
to bring these to Camp Randall,

1258
01:18:21,420 --> 01:18:23,309
if you are going, He
would like you to have

1259
01:18:23,309 --> 01:18:26,145
these and so do that as
a favor to the dean.

1260
01:18:26,145 --> 01:18:28,830
And so now as we
conclude guests,

1261
01:18:28,830 --> 01:18:30,119
we'd asked you to stay in

1262
01:18:30,119 --> 01:18:31,920
your seats so that
our graduates can

1263
01:18:31,920 --> 01:18:33,659
exit through the
middle aisle and then

1264
01:18:33,659 --> 01:18:35,685
you can meet your graduates
out in the lobby.

1265
01:18:35,685 --> 01:18:41,770
Thank you all for being
with us here today, and On, Wisconsin!
