“You’re never too young to lead, and you’re never too old to learn”

In his widely applauded speech, this year’s commencement speaker, former President of Mongolia Elbegdorj Tsakhia, shared his wisdom and experience from more than 20 years of public service experience, which includes serving as Mongolia’s Prime Minister and President. Reflecting on his own country’s path to democracy, President Elbegdorj reminded students of one simple truth: “You’re never too young to lead, and you’re never too old to learn.”

He also shared with the graduating public policy students his view of public service: “Public service isn’t about power – it’s about people. When the people succeed, you succeed.”
