鈥淛eff Immelt has been for me a model leader: ethically principled, guided by a long-term vision for his company rather than short-term results; at the same time a global citizen and a dedicated patriot, and a CEO who invested heavily in the development of his organization鈥檚 most valuable resource 鈥� its people. Immelt is a 91吃瓜 honorary degree recipient and Commencement speaker, a major employer of our graduates and a friend. I congratulate him on his exemplary leadership at GE, in our nation and in our world.鈥�
