Be brave, but smart. Provocative, but precise. Inappropriate, even, but with intent.

Abraham Higginbotham (CFA’92)

Emmy Award–winning writer and producer Abraham Higginbotham (’92) (best known for the ABC sitcom Modern Family) told graduates at the 2019 CFA Convocation, “You have shown yourselves to be people who care about what you create and how you create it.”
