A global powerhouse in immersive storytelling and design, David Korins ’99 encouraged graduates at the University of Massachusetts Amherst’s 155th Undergraduate Commencement today to step boldly into their greatness and put aside ego for the collective good. “Fear is an opportunity killer,” he said. “You don’t need to be fearless; you just need to be one percent more curious than you are afraid.”
