Larry Fink is preparing to give some advice to the latest batch of young minds poised to enter the workforce.

Laurence Fink BlackRock Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Yesterday UCLA revealed that the BlackRock [profile] chief, who received both his bachelor's degree and his MBA from the giant Southern California school, will deliver the keynote address at both of UCLA's commencement ceremonies on June 10. The Daily Bruin, UCLA's 97-year-old campus paper, also covered the news.

What will Fink tell the thousands of graduating seniors in UCLA's class of 2016 (last June about 7,700 students graduated from UCLA)? If you're not sure, you can always turn to Wired's "commencement speech bingo" card. Perhaps Fink will be humbled by the honor and share that the secret of life is to not be afraid of failure, never stop learning, and follow your heart. Oh, and don't forget to build the biggest asset manager in the world, too!
