Today, I see another dramatic shift in learning and a corresponding new investment ahead of us - this time in airplane tickets to take both students and faculty wherever in the world learning can be most concentrated and most productive. We have a country that was built on a dream, and it is our responsibility to make sure that that dream can continue to be maintained at all income levels so that as our country moves forward we will continue to benefit from all our great assets. Every corporation is a community first. Every academic institution is a community first.
Every family is a community first.
So if we do not focus on understanding how to make communities work, then we will waste a tremendous amount of time. You have the privilege of education. Because education is power. Our greatest endowment is the wisdom tradition. Today, our job is to settle new psychological and social space where men and women of diverse backgrounds can live and work together.
