Former CBS Executive Tells Graduates How to Survive Career Anxiety
Former CBS Entertainment Chair and BU Trustee Nina Tassler (CFA’79, Hon.’16) addresses the Class of 2016, along with thousands of friends and family at this year’s Commencement ceremony. Tassler, the longest-serving woman leader in broadcast history, focuses her talk on her lifelong career anxiety, and credits BU with teaching her the skills to reinvent herself and survive in a tough business. Whether “taking a Holocaust class taught by Elie Wiesel (Hon.’74) or listening to lectures by Edward Albee (Hon.’10) or even attending a rally protesting tuition hikes . . . my goals were shifting, and the person I always felt I was, was evolving, too.”
