Are people going to recognize what I can do? Where do I get started? Do I pick door A, do I pick door B? And that’s in normal times. I have all of this energy, all of this passion, but where do I put it to work?” It looks like there’s barriers here, there’s barriers there. Let me just start by saying, in normal times, I know, just like when I think back on my own, when I was in your shoes, 21, 22 years old, and you have this, on one level, excitement about your future, and on the other level, you have a little bit of angst and a little bit of worry. Doing this, what was originally going to be an in-person presentation or speech, but now is virtual, but hopefully we’ll get a chance to do the in person, as well. And we formed a great friendship and obviously over my academic career and my professional career and even my personal life, I have many, many friends and colleagues that have been Dartmouth graduates, so I definitely enjoyed telling them that I was getting to do this. And then when President Hanlon became president, I was, I believe, one of the first conversations he had, probably not the first, but a few months into his presidency, and I was just super impressed by how thoughtful and how innovative and how forward-looking he is. It was under President Kim he had invited me over to campus and I had a really great interaction with the students and the faculty. The first time I visited the campus was in 2012. Let me just start say by saying that the Dartmouth community is one that I hold close to my heart. And I probably would have been more presentable, but my apologies. And if I had a little bit of foresight, I would have recognized that I’m going to record a very important video for all of you all. So I got a little bit aggressive with the clipper so I wouldn’t miss the launch and this is what you see. I was so excited about the SpaceX launch and my hair was getting a little bit out of hand. Before I even go into my words for you, let me just apologize for my haircut. Hi everyone in the Dartmouth community, especially the graduates and the family of the graduates.
