After you depart for your new destinations, I want to ask you to hug the world until you make the world a little more like MIT, more daring and more passionate, more rigorous, more inventive and more ambitious, more humble, more respectful, more generous, more kind. And because the people of MIT are also like to fix things that are broken, as you strive to hug this world, please try to heal the world too. Our society is like a big, complicated family in the midst of terrible argument. I believe we can each try to make it better by finding ways to listen to each other with compassion, to focus on achieving our shared objectives, and to try constantly to remind each other of our common humanity. I know you will find your own ways to help with this healing too.
