Eric Schmidt @ UCB

Dr. Eric Schmidt (M.S.'79, Ph.D.'82 EECS), the CEO of Google was the commencement speaker at Berkeley :


Eric began his talk on Technology, Leadership and Passion (link to video) by acknowledging the "awesome debt I owe to Berkeley," recounting that almost everything he has accomplished in the 29 years since he left Berkeley is derived from what he learned on our campus. Eric urged our new graduates to take risks, make mistakes, and look to one another for support:

"When you think of what you are going to do, when you take the wonderful skills that you have and this amazing platform your predecessors have built for you, do it in the context of what is most essentially human, the good things about humanity, things that matter. Devote yourself to making the world a very, very much better place. You will be able to do it."

:) definitely better then the one at UTD. the last section of the speach was the best part.

"never have so many understood so little about so much" that's a good one.
