Renowned psychologist John Gottman had three messages for the graduate degree candidates assembled at Camp Randall Stadium on Saturday, for an in-person and physically distanced commencement during a year marked by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The first, from the UW alumnus considered a pioneer in the psychology of relationships: “Follow your heart — undertake what’s most meaningful for you.”
