Actor and conservationist Harrison Ford delivers the commencement address during Arizona State University’s Undergraduate Commencement at Mountain America Stadium in Tempe on May 11, 2026. Ford also received an honorary Doctor of Arts and Humane Letters from the university.
Some highlights from his speech were:
On passion vs. purpose: “Passion and purpose are not the same thing. Passion brings you joy. Purpose brings you meaning. Passion gets you out of bed in the morning, but purpose allows you to sleep at night.”
On nature:
“Nature doesn’t need people. People need nature to survive.”
On leadership:
“Build something that didn’t exist yesterday. Stand up for someone who can’t stand up for themselves. Bring people together who weren’t talking before. That’s leadership.”
