Karl Eller's Message to 2002 Graduates


"I'd really like to wish the 2002 graduating class of the business school great congratulations.

You know, it was fifty years ago that I graduated from The University of Arizona Business School, and I tell you one thing, it's been the greatest fifty years of my life. And I hope someday, in the next fifty years, somebody's doing the same thing that I'm doing out of your class.

I have one piece of advice that I usually give to a lot of students, and I'll give to this class: As you go out into the business world and you go out into your life, just remember, integrity is your only collateral. Never lose it and use it to the best of your ability. Just remember, that's your only collateral. Congratulations again, and I wish you all the success in the world."
