1 LETTER FROM THE DEAN Dear Graduates, I am honored to celebrate our Michigan Ross Class of 2021. Congratulations on reaching this tremendous milestone. You have worked very hard to get to this moment, and I deeply admire your focus, determination, and unwavering commitment to your goals. The courage and fortitude you demonstrated, especially during this unprecedented year, are commendable. You are a true inspiration and shining example of what it means to be the Leaders and Best! Although we are not able to gather in person, we have put together an engaging and memorable virtual experience for you and your loved ones. We hope you enjoy this special day. As students, you have gained invaluable business skills, solved real-world challenges, and become the purpose-driven leaders that our world needs today more than ever before. This year in particular, you learned how to adapt and thrive amid uncertainty and ambiguity. Whether in person or virtually, you overcame challenges, bonded together in your greatest moments of need, and exceeded all expectations. You learned the importance of being open to and accepting of change, and you demonstrated exceptional teamwork as our students, faculty, staff, alumni, and partners across the globe came together to achieve our goals and support each other. I promise you that these lessons will serve you well, personally and professionally, throughout your lives. While your time as Michigan Ross students has come to an end, this is just the beginning of your life as Michigan Ross alumni. You are now part of one of the largest and most esteemed alumni networks in the world — more than 52,000 Ross alumni and over 630,000 University of Michigan alumni living in 179 countries. It is a special bond that unites our Michigan Ross family. You are defining the next frontiers of business, challenging the status quo, and using your talents to enrich our shared future. Michigan Ross alumni are known for being high-achieving leaders and innovators who bring people together, inspire the best in themselves and others, and make a positive difference in society. They are also deeply committed to their fellow alums and the Block M. I encourage you to stay connected to your Michigan Ross family as you embark on the next chapter in your lives. I am extremely grateful for our time together and am excited to see what lies ahead for you. Thank you for sharing your passions, ideas, and unique perspectives. And thank you for demonstrating what true collaboration looks like even under the most challenging of circumstances. You are leaving a tremendous legacy that will benefit the generations of talented Michigan Ross students who will follow in your footsteps. Furthermore, we appreciate the vital role you have played in helping us advance our mission to build a better world through business. It has been an honor to serve as your dean. On behalf of the entire Michigan Ross community, I wish you continued success in your professional and personal pursuits. Congratulations, and forever Go Blue!

As the class president of the Global MBA Program, he has shown his leadership during this unprecedented pandemic, especially when the program was suspended in week one. The faculty at Michigan Ross have broadened his academic views; many challenges he has gone through with his classmates have taught him the importance of community; and the people he has met during his time in the U.S. have shown him the power of people.
