 Anything else about your senior year was different. We thought, why not this? As we've never done an outdoor commencement before, we may have gotten a few things wrong. For one thing, way out here on the 50-yard line, it feels like we carried that social distance thing a little far. Well, however well it goes, like everything about your senior year, it'll be one for the history books. For all the trouble and downsides, there can be some real value in living through a time like this. I hope that the experiences of 2020 left you with an attitude, not of fearfulness, but of confidence, confidence that we can tackle hard problems and that hiding from them is rarely the best course, but given a careful examination of the available facts and a thoughtful calculation of relative risks, we can overcome even the biggest obstacles and be the masters of our fates and our futures. You are leaving here ready for leadership. Your academic records say so. The history of Purdue graduates says so. The character you demonstrated this last year, when your embrace of the Purdue pledge enabled this place to stay open at all, clearly says so. We expect, no, we know that you will tackle leadership's challenges as they present themselves to you. For taking with you all the tools to weigh alternatives, balance priorities, assess relative risks, all you'll need is the courage to act on the conclusions you reach. Now take that readiness into a fearful, timid world, crying for leadership and direction and boldness, where the biggest risk of all is that we stop taking risks at all. Hail Purdue and each of you.
