As the Cornell Commencement of 2026 winds to an end, this is to thank the graduating Cornell Dyson School of Applied Economics & Management students who became my Course Assistants for AEM2200, Business Management and Organizations, the introductory business management class for our majors. They mentored, and coached, and cared for (not to mention taught, graded, and kept track of) every Dyson incoming Freshman and Transfer student during their first Dyson semester. They're not just Course Assistants, they became junior colleagues in terms of commitment and responsibility! My deepest gratitude and warmest wishes to, from left to right, Ryan Bornstein, Ada Chinye, Sarah Young, Natalia Ostapowicz, Jonna Crocker, Mary A., Ashley Qiu and Darcy Banicky. Missing in the pictures are Ariane Chevrier, Isabella Deveso, Andy Bostrom and Carden Olsson. Godspeed, y'all! I am proud of you; and look forward to seeing you again, often...
