Remarks by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent before the Brunswick School Commencement: The Life Within Reach, and the Life You Choose to Live

Thank you, Tom, for that introduction and for the invitation to be here on this wonderful occasion. It’s an honor to join you in celebrating the Class of 2026 Bruins and all those who helped to bring these young men to this moment.Before I share a few reflections, I would be remiss not to mention that next year will mark Tom’s last at Brunswick after nearly four decades. Today belongs to the graduates before me. But I must say that when this institution looks back on its history, it will record these years as some of Brunswick’s best.Several years ago, I sat where you are all sitting for Brunswick’s annual dinner.
