Stan Brunson The Commencement Address by Paul Hawken to the Class of 2009, University of
Portland, May 3, 2009
When I was invited to give this speech, I was asked if I could give a simple short talk that was direct, naked, taut, honest, passionate, lean, shivering, startling, and graceful.” No pressure there.Let’s begin with the startling part. Class of 2009: you are going to have to figure out what it means to be a human being on earth at a time when every living system is declining, and the rate of decline is accelerating. Kind of a mind-boggling situation... but not one peer-reviewed paper published in the last thirty years can refute that statement. Basically, civilization needs a new operating system, you are the programmers, and we need it within a few decades.

How many chemistry professors are on staff now? When I got my BS in chemistry in 1955 and MS in chemistry in 1968, there were 4--Baine, Banewicz, Kenner, and Jesky.

I went to SMU and paid tuition. Kurt, your sarcasm is appreciated.

On another note, having been to the UTD (ie University of Texas at Dubai) campus, I don't know if I would rag on the SMU campus too much.
