Summary |
|
President Hennessy addressed the undergraduate Class of 2015 of Stanford University, 1 709 new freshmen and 47 transfer students. His topic was to address the question of how the students could make the most of their time at Stanford.
His first suggestion was to get to know the faculty, to discover their passion for learning and teaching. His second recommendation was to be open to learning from fellow students, especially those with different backgrounds, cultures or beliefs. Thirdly, Hennessy encouraged the class to take advantage of the great research opportunities at Stanford.
Finally, he encouraged the students to view their time at Stanford as a once-in-a-lifetime journey. He said Stanford provides the means to transform their lives, as it had for so many of its alumni, and a foundation on which they can make contributions that lead to a better future for the generations that follow.
