Billionaire Ken Griffin is giving Miami Dade College $20 million — and sharing some life lessons with its graduates.

The Citadel founder delivered the commencement address at Miami Dade College on Saturday, exhorting the Class of 2023 to invest in their community and saying there are “many problems to be addressed in our society.” He encouraged them to work on issues such as developing clean energy, educating children, addressing the housing crisis and combating the health issues that come with an aging society.
