Dear Class of 2012…
by Jillian Kornsweig | May 3, 2012 | 0 comments
In a few weeks, graduating seniors – of high school and college – will don their caps and gowns, walk down the aisle, shake some hands, get their diplomas, smile for the camera and sit patiently while someone of some import delivers a commencement speech. Good—and really memorable speeches tend to incorporate humor, personal stories, amazing insights and other anecdotes intended to motivate a newly minted college grad.
You needn’t be the president, a rock star, a billionaire or a comedian to inspire others, but Repair the World wants you to share your wisdom with this year’s grads in 140 characters or less. In fact, we’ve been working up our own wishes here, and we’d love to include yours.

Just last year, Amy Poehler rocked it out at Harvard, while the late Steve Jobs percolated some new ideas at Stanford in 2005. (A few more round ups here: Repair the World’s “What They Said” and this “Celebrity Commencement speech advice that you should actually listen to.”
