What have this year’s graduates gained from MIT? As Commencement nears, some say: “Courage in tackling the unknown.” “Selective ambition.” “I am better at failing and recovering.” “I no longer strive for perfection.” “I can do so much more.” #MIT2022 Video: MIT News Office

Congratulations, Class of 2022!
