Great website with 10 excellent commencement speeches. It's worth the time reading these; I particularly liked the one by Uslan (on how it's not enough to just have a good idea, but how to get noticed).

It's been a lot of fun discussing linear programmign and related topics this semester. I hope you keep in touch, and if you enter the real world (or academia) and use things from this class, please let me know (also let me know if it would have been useful for us to cover something we didn't -- this feedback helps in planning future iterations of the course).
