2020 Graduates Finance
While I would rather do this in person and be able to shake your hand, I will extend a virtual handshake and congratulate you on a job well done. Congratulations to you, the Class of 2020. The skills you have learned at the Farmer School of Business in the Finance program will serve you well. Being able to assess risk and return, plan for uncertainty, and take smart risks to increase value is what the core of Finance is all about. It will certainly prepare you for your future and the opportunities that lie ahead. It was a pleasure working with all of you during your time here. I am always amazed and proud of what you have accomplished thus far as students and look forward to following your accomplishments as proud Miami alumni. Please be sure to keep in touch. Whether it is for reunions with friends, recruiting for your company, mentoring the next generation of students, come back to campus as often as you can and stop by to say hello. Those that have stood by you and supported you while you studied at Miami are especially excited to see this time arrive. Be thankful to your family, friends, and mentors who have supported you along the way. As you begin your career, fellow Miami alumni will continue to serve as mentors. Reach out and connect to them as well as look for ways to support those who are following in your footsteps. This network of Miami alumni will serve you well. Congratulations! Love & Honor, Joel
Congratulations graduates! It has been a great honor to be part of your collegiate career and I look forward to seeing what you accomplish in the future! I hope that you all remember your time here in Oxford fondly and that you come back to visit campus when life has returned to normal.
Regards, Lee Biggerstaff
Congratulations to the Miami University Class of 2020! I enjoyed getting to know many of you in Oxford and on our trips to NY, Europe, and Asia. I wish you all the best in the future. I am certain that there are many great things still to come. You did it! Tom Boulton
To the Graduates of 2020: Congratulations! Your journey as a Miami student may not have ended as you had planned, but you achieved your most important objective – your degree. A degree in finance from a prestigious institution like Miami University is no small achievement. Your experiences here have helped to shape you in ways, both big and small. Your finance degree is worth much more than the sets of facts, figures and formulas you learned (some of which you committed to longterm memory, and some of which you recalled just long enough to make it through your next exam). Your experience at Miami has influenced how you think and reason. It bolstered your confidence and improved your decision-making abilities. It expanded your perspectives, and helped you to see the world through the eyes of others. Upon graduation, you will become part of a large and influential network of Miami alumni, ranging from recent graduates who, like you, are just starting their careers, to captains of industry and prominent public policy makers. Both Miami faculty and alumni care about your continued success, and can offer you support and advice, should you need it. One day, when you’re in a position to help others using your influence, knowledge and experience, you may discover that nothing is more rewarding than giving back, while expecting little in return. I want to personally wish you all the best as you move on to the next challenge in your life. May all of your investments be positive NPV. And, as you follow your passions, may you experience all of the happiness and fulfillment that a well-lived life can offer. Love and Honor, Kelly R. Brunarski
Congratulations to the Class of 2020 on your incredible achievements and welldeserved success! Although you’re leaving behind many happy memories of your time here at Miami, your graduation is just the beginning of a bright future. Don’t stop learning, exploring, growing, and challenging yourself to be your best. Good luck and best wishes on all your future endeavors!

Congratulations to the Class of 2020 on your incredible achievements and I want to congratulate all of you, on the hard work and perseverance that has helped you to complete your time here at Miami. My favorite part of working with students is seeing the incredible things that your talents help you do next! Whatever you do, do it well. You have the skills to craft the life you desire. Find your purpose and let it drive you. I hope that many of you will reach out in the future, and have a conversation about where life has taken you, and come back to visit my classroom and help future generations of Miami students know just how much they can achieve. Good luck and congratulations. It has been my pleasure, Brad Goldie
Congratulations 2020 Graduates! You are moving into the next exciting phase of your lives and so many new opportunities are waiting for you. I wish you every success as you embark on this journey. I hope you look back on your years at Miami University as some of the best of your lives. To quote Benjamin Franklin, “An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.” You’ve made the investment, now it’s time to collect the interest. All the best in your future endeavors, Yvette Harman
Dear 2020 Finance graduates, First and foremost, congratulations on your graduation! This achievement is a remarkable accomplishment, and one that should be celebrated properly with those you love and those who helped you along the way. We must celebrate all of life’s victories, however major or minor they may be. In these uncertain times, be assured that you have acquired a valuable set of skills that will serve you well throughout your professional and personal lives. Do not neglect the networks you have formed while at Miami, as they will be the source of many future opportunities. Be open to new challenges and possibilities, and realize that you possess the adaptability to be bold in your pursuits. I have enjoyed the time I have spent with many of you during our shared quest for knowledge. I am impressed by your ability, humility, and humanity.
Prost! Tyler Henry
Dear Graduates, Congratulations on achieving this great milestone! You went through a once in a lifetime experience of college life. You worked hard. You studied hard. You took numerous exams.

Dear Graduating Finance Seniors, Big congratulations on your graduation and I am very proud of your accomplishments! It’s time to make your next step and move onto the new stage of your life. Find what you like to do. Pursue your passions. Don't be afraid to try new things and take risks, this is the time to broaden your horizons and leave the familiar behind. Find ways to contribute to the society that are meaningful to you. People more often regret things they didn't do than the things they did. Be adventurous! Best wishes for your next adventure! Xi
Congratulations! This is a time for celebration. I am drinking a Diet Mountain Dew in honor of your accomplishments at Miami University. You are my favorite part of the Finance Department and I miss seeing you in the halls of the FSB. I wish you great success and hope you will stay in touch.
