John Chambers College of Business and Economics

Josh Hall, Milan Puskar Dean

Dear Class of 2023,

Today, a new journey begins with the turn of your tassels.

Even if you don’t know exactly where that journey will take you, know that you are ready for it because of what you’ve learned during your years at West Virginia University.

Each of you learned more than you expected during your time at WVU. In the true pioneering spirit of the Chambers College, you learned to trust your instincts and navigate the unexpected.

We often say that our Chambers College students are the future of work, and that has never been more true than it is today.

A bright future lies ahead — and that future needs you. It needs your perseverance, your energy and your adaptability. It needs your hope and your aspirations to change the world for the better. It needs you to be the next generation of creators, entrepreneurs and business leaders who will confront the problems of today and solve the problems of tomorrow. It needs you to value and champion diversity so that you can break through barriers and inspire others to break through them, too.

The jobs of tomorrow will favor those who are prepared to innovate and adapt on their feet. Chambers College students are well prepared to do just that, as you have risen to the challenge together of embracing your college education with flexibility and tenacity.

Each of you has a blank slate in front of you, and that will give you the ability to transform business. Companies are rethinking how they work, and they will look to this generation to make an impact and shape a new course for all functional areas of business.

My hope is that you never stop dreaming big. As you take on the world, remember the importance of compassion. Take care of yourselves and each other. Be courageous enough to turn impossibilities into possibilities. Be humble enough to learn from your mistakes.

Know that I am proud of each and every one of you. I can’t wait to see you all change the world for the better in ways that only Mountaineers can!

Best wishes,

Josh Hall Signature
