<p>Two things I especially liked from President Oden’s welcoming remarks to the Class of 2013 </p>

<ol>
<li>WAITT - We’re All In This Together </li>
<li>“Those who are full of themselves are rarely full of anything interesting.”</li>
</ol>

<p>He also talked about doing things deliberatively - I wish I’d done more of that as a student…and since, LOL.</p>

<p>Does anyone know if his remarks will be available in print or podcast?</p>

<p>I also liked the comments by the parent/trustee wrt the tone. He’d been to a school that welcomed them with ‘look left and right; one of you will fail’ which is a very different message than Oden’s ‘Our admissions department NEVER makes a mistake. You all belong here and you’re all going to succeed.’</p>

<p>(NB Not exact quotes, but the best I could remember)</p>
