Thank you President Loven for that very kind introduction and congratulations class of 2025.
Faculty members, Provost Martinez, Board of Trustees, and all of you, thank you for the very warm welcome back to campus.
I understand from the senior class presidents that I was selected to speak today through some kind of a class survey, and I am so honored to be given this opportunity.
But I have to say, I hope there was no padding of the survey results by the men's and women's swim teams.
I saw many of you out there in your wacky walk swimsuits, and I appreciate being made to feel at home.
Thank you to my family for being here, and a huge shout out to my former Stanford swim coaches, Greg Meehan and Tracy Slusser.
I've enjoyed spending time the last few days around campus swimming, seeing old friends, and meeting many of you at dinner on the quad and around campus.
I just, I love Stanford so much.
As President Levin said earlier, it's Father's Day, and I, too, would like to wish all of the fathers here, including my own, a very happy Father's Day.
You know, I'm so fortunate to have a father who was willing to wake up at 4 a.m. to drive me to swim practices when I was younger.
