Justice Mariano-Florentino Cuéllar advised graduates on the value of paying attention to people, events and situations in the periphery of their lives at the 126th Stanford University Commencement.
In a personal and impassioned speech, California Supreme Court Associate Justice Mariano-Florentino “Tino” Cuéllar asked the Stanford University Class of 2017 to reflect on their privileges, on the importance of fair and factual debate, and on opportunities for future growth and contribution. Speaking at the university’s 126th Commencement on Sunday at Stanford Stadium, which was subject to an unusual heatwave, Cuéllar emphasized a broader approach to life and learning, one that keeps an eye on people and events in the periphery of our everyday lives.
VPGE serves Stanford's entire graduate student community of over 9,300 master's, doctoral, and professional degree students in over 200 graduate degree programs within all seven Schools.
