In this "Best of" Higher Ed episode, KUT's Jennifer Stayton and Southwestern University President Dr. Ed Burger reflect on what commencement means and discuss what most students actually take away from their college experiences. It may not be exactly what you'd expect.
This is the time of year when graduates and their families and friends hear advice dispensed in commencement speeches on campuses around the country.
