University of Connecticut Graduate School Commencement 2014

I was extremely honored to receive an honorary degree from The University of Connecticut Graduate School this May, and to be invited to deliver their commencement speech. It was an amazing experience to be in the huge auditorium (where they play their famous basketball) and to speak to 9,000+ students, family and friends.  We had a great time– it was a very festive atmosphere. Above is a video of the  full 2014 commencement ceremony–you can catch my introduction by the president of the University, Susan Herbst at 7:00 min, followed by my address.  I tried to be humorous and serious, not an easy task. Particularly without my cartoons to help me!
