Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Richard Clark Keynote Address | 2026 ROTC Commissioning
Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Richard Clark delivered the keynote at Harvard’s 2026 ROTC commissioning, honoring the graduating class and thanking university leadership for sustaining the institution’s long‑standing military partnership. Clark framed the ceremony around three core values—integrity, humility and excellence—citing the 1952 Medal of Honor actions of Harvard alumnus Lt. Sherrod Skinner as a timeless example of those principles in combat. He reinforced the message with a personal anecdote from his 2008 Iraq deployment, where he delegated authority to a tech sergeant and practiced servant leadership, echoing Lao Tzu’s maxim that thoughts become destiny. The address underscores Harvard’s role in shaping future officers, urging the new cohort to internalize character‑based leadership, continuously improve, and lift teammates, thereby strengthening the Armed Forces’ effectiveness.
