2013 Metropolitan College Commencement Address by Douglas Chamberlain
Douglas Chamberlain (MET’74, GSM’76) President and Chief Executive Officer of Appleton Partners Founder,
Success in today’s competitive global marketplace demands innovative business strategies—and a workforce that is prepared to meet the unique challenges of twenty-first-century commerce. There is no blueprint for the fallout of economic turmoil, ongoing advances in technology, or the pressures exerted by emerging markets around the world. Instead, companies and organizations rely upon agile leadership and an informed, educated workforce to guide them to success.
That is where we can help. Boston University’s Metropolitan College engages with companies and organizations to maximize workforce potential—and optimize existing benefits—through educational partnerships. A partnership with us has many tangible advantages, including tuition reduction, workforce assessment, relevant fields of study, and flexible delivery of high-quality programs taught by full-time Boston University faculty.
