David Rolfe ’11 Notes & Quotes from Commencement
“If you do not tell others about the importance of science, and the elegance of math, the world will become more illiterate in technical fields that govern all of our lives. Law- makers may defund research and pass laws that demean science and prevent the next generation from understand- ing it. People may not vaccinate their kids or prevent global warming from spiraling out of control.”
David Rolfe ’11, senior class speaker Amy Musselman, Roque Muna and Ned Mills Sabreen Lakhani
“Do something you are not ready to do. My life has been shaped by four major decisions to do things I wasn’t ready for. Four decisions that caused me to change my plan. As a naïve 18-year-old from Wisconsin, I moved 2,000 miles away from home to go to college. As a disheartened biol- ogy and chemistry major, I changed my major to sym- bolic systems when I could barely describe what it was. I moved to Zurich, Switzerland, for a summer to do research, despite the fact that I didn’t speak the language. And, in 1999, when I was graduating with my master’s, I chose to work at an unheard of tiny start-up with a ridiculous name. Each of these four decisions put me entirely in over my head, each in different ways.” Marissa Mayer, vice president, Consumer Products, Google
