During the past 2 years of graduate school and 4 years of undergraduate before that, I have been so proud to see that our school grew fromSchool of Management to Questrom School of Business, and that our community is growing stronger and more vibrant each year, and this couldn’t have happened without the effort of everyone here to share, to inspire, and to embrace each other.

在过去两年的研究生院和再之前四年的本科生活中，我很自豪地看到，我们的学院从管理学院成长为Questrom商学院，而且我们的学生群体每一年都越来越强大，愈发有活力。而这样的进步，如果没有这里的每个人努力地去分享，激励和接纳彼此，是不可能发生的。

Let’s now think about the future. 20 years from now, what kind of challenges are we going to face, as family members, as business owners, as human beings? Nobody knows.To cope with that amount of uncertainty, we will need a diverse set of skills and knowledge, andmost important of all, an open mind to learn. That’s why we have been so lucky to be part of the Questrom community that cultivated such freedom of an open mind.

现在我们来思考未来。20年后，作为家庭成员，作为企业总裁，作为人类，我们将面临什么样的挑战？没有人知道。为了应对如此大的不确定性，我们需要储备多样化的技能和知识，而更重要的是，要有一颗开放和包容的思想去学习。这就是为什么我们非常幸运地成为Questrom群体的一部分，因为它培养了开放思想的自由。

So, congratulations, class of 2017! Forwhen you walk outside that door today, you are already equipped with one of the most critical skills to succeed in the future, the ability to embrace diversity. Thank you so much!

所以，恭喜在场的2017届毕业生！因为当你们今天走出那扇门时，你已经具备了未来成功的关键竞争力之一，即拥抱文化多样性的能力。非常感谢！
