Dr. John Gottman is proud to be awarded an honorary doctoral degree from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. When addressing Doctoral, Law, Medical, Professional, and Master’s Degree Candidates at the 2021 virtual UW—Madison commencement ceremony, he had this to say:
"Thank you so much for this great and totally unexpected honor.
My three messages to you are, message one - follow your heart. Undertake what means the most to you. Message two, don’t be afraid to tackle hard things, things that may at first seem impossible. And Message 3, you don’t have to do this alone. Team up with the people you trust the most."
