Commencement Speeches

Ever since 1987, THI has been dedicated to preserving the wisdom, inspiration, humor and uninhibited humanity of each spring's most empowering commencement speeches.

Once you finish reading or listening to your first speaker, we well suspect you will become quickly engaged with the rest of these enduringly thoughtful, fun and generous voices.

For they remain inspiring no matter your age -- as every year all of us "graduate" into new tomorrows, new challenges...especially as we consider personal pathways along the exciting horizons of positive change.
