Even when your views clash with those of others, please do not abandon your willingness and attitude to continue creating opportunities for dialogue.” He emphasized the need for graduates to contribute to resolving global challenges such as climate change, advancements in artificial intelligence, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the conflict in the Gaza Strip.
