2016年Facebook桑德伯格UCB大学毕业演讲(一)

Congratulations to all of youbut especially congratulations to the magnificent Berkeley class of 2016!

It is my privilege to be here at Berkeley, which has produced so many Nobel Prize winners, Turing Award winners, astronauts, members of Congress, Olympic gold medalists… . and that's just the women!

Early on, Berkeley opened its doors to the entire population. When this campus opened in 1873, you had 167 men and 222 women.

It took my alma mater another ninety years to give a single degree to a single woman.

Roz grew up scrubbing floors in the Brooklyn boardinghouse where she lived.

In high school her parents pulled her out of school to help support the family.
