Here’s the life advice YouTuber Mark Rober gave to MIT’s 2023 graduates // Boston.com
Mark Rober’s address to the MIT Class of 2023 featured “three bits of life advice in a humor-filled commencement speech.” Rober relayed to graduates that “if you want to cross the river of life, you’re gonna get wet. You’re gonna have to backtrack. And that’s not a bug, that’s a feature. Frame those failures and slips like a video game, and not only will you learn more and do it faster, but it will make all the successful jumps along the way that much sweeter.”

| Ellen Swallow Richards became MIT’s first female graduate when she earned her BS in chemistry on May 31, 1873 — 150 years ago this week. She went on to build the foundations for sanitary chemistry, food science, family and consumer science, and ecology as an instructor at the Institute. To mark Richards’ graduation and legacy, the Association of MIT Alumnae (AMITA) has created a self-guided tour of locations in Boston where Richards studied and worked around MIT’s original campus.
