Congratulations to Jason Bellet BS 14, winner of the 2026 UC Berkeley Haas Leading Through Innovation Award! His work with Eko Health is redefining what’s possible in healthcare, using AI-powered stethoscopes to bring lifesaving cardiac and pulmonary screening to more patients worldwide. 🩺💙
What’s the most important thing future business leaders need to know about AI? Associate Professor Abhishek Nagaraj says effective leadership starts with understanding “the black box”—what machine intelligence can do, and where it falls short.
Thank you to undergraduate commencement speaker Adam Foroughi, BS 01, co-founder and CEO of AppLovin, for sharing hard-won lessons with the Class of 2026: be humble but stay hungry, embrace curiosity, and go build what’s next. 🎓🐻
“It is an unbelievable moment in history to be starting your career. The barriers between ‘I have an idea’ and ‘I have a company’ have never been lower.”
A heartfelt thank you to Yamini Rangan, MBA 03 and CEO of HubSpot, for an inspiring MBA commencement address and a reminder that the choices that matter most are to care deeply, stay uncomfortable, and lift others up along the way. 💙💛
"The choices that will define your career have nothing to do with the technology, and everything to do with who you choose to be."
Thank you to our Evening & Weekend MBA commencement speaker, Michelle Obermeyer, for celebrating the quieter moments of leadership that rarely make it to LinkedIn. She reminded us that leadership isn't always measured by accomplishments, but by the connections we foster and the impact we have on those around us. 💙
"The Defining Leadership Principles, or DLPs, are the cultural underpinnings of Haas: they're the principles you're taught to internalize, and they shape the way you show up in class, at work, and after three years, in your day-to-day life."
Thank you to our Full-Time MBA speaker, Sabrina “Bean” Rodriguez, for reminding us that courage isn’t the absence of fear—it’s taking action despite it, and inspiring others along the way. This is something she saw happen time and again among her classmates during the in-between moments in the Haas Courtyard. 💙
“Life will continuously give us moments where we feel uncertain, or completely unprepared for what comes next. But we will need to act anyway.”
“And when those moments come, I hope you think back to your time in the Haas courtyard. The moments when you said the dream out loud. Tried before you felt ready, and let people truly see you while you were still becoming.”
