i really do want to thank the university for its patience. what struck me about columbia was that you were really never far from the real world. and lee is correct that columbia is a diverse place, a global university and by the way there was never any pressure to conform here. and sometimes there were endless debates. and each of us had to find our own way and in many, many ways i left the university extremely well trained for the world that i'm in. i was also one of those people who was fortunate enough to find my calling early in life. i didn't really have a game plan but i guess good things happened if you're well trained by university and doing the kind of work that you like. and so today i'm here as a grateful alumnist of the university and the chief executive officer of citi which is one of the world's great financial institutions. we're a company of 265,000 people. in 160 plus jurisdictions. we have more than 200 million customer accounts. we serve clients big and small including 99% of the fortune 500 and we call ourselves america's
