Learn From Mistakes, Speaker

Tells 350 Hartwick Graduates

Stephen L. Green,'59, told Hartwick College's 350 graduates today that they should learn from life's inevitable disappointments, and not give up. He told how shares in his SL Green Realty Corp., the largest holder of Manhattan office space, dropped from $160 to $8 after the 2008 crash, a heavy blow at the time. Today, the company is worth $13 billion and recently joined the S&P 500. He also recognized Hartwick's winningest coach, Nick Lambros, right, who was in the audience to cheer on his pal. The two played on Hartwick teams together when they were students in the 1950s.
