Chancellor Rebecca Blank told graduates that the number one predictor of their impact will not be genius or luck, but how hard they try and how hard they work.
“When you find that place where what you’re good at and what you’re passionate about come together, that is where your life’s work awaits you,” she said. “Choose opportunities that put you there.”
The keynote speakers were Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, UW–Madison alums and a top Hollywood writing and producing team. They drew laughs as they recounted their undergraduate friendship and their modest beginnings as film students.
