Stanley Motta (BBA ’67) was asked to deliver the charge to graduates at this year’s diploma ceremony in Tulane University.
Stanley Motta, chairman of Copa Holdings, parent company of Panama’s Copa Airlines and Colombia’s Copa Airlines Colombia, president of Inversiones Bahia, and CEO of Motta Internacional, won over his audience with a humorous, heartfelt address to graduates.
“In life, it is not a matter of whether or not you will have surprises,” Motta said, “it is only a matter of how you handle them.”
