ABOUT
Why save all of the best wisdom and career advice for college students on their LAST DAY before they graduate? What if we asked the Oprah Winfreys and Warren Buffetts of the world to share career advice with students eight years earlier on DAY ONE of high school? Students would have more time to explore, make mistakes, and actually implement their advice. That's what Day One Commencement is all about.
