Graduates of the New England Institute of Technology (NEIT) got to hear words of wisdom from NCAA president and former Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker Sunday afternoon.

“If you treat people as you would like to be treated, if you prove to be a reliable, dependable, steady force for good — and you listen and learn — trust me, the rest will take care of itself,” Baker said to the graduates.

Baker, a Republican, served two terms as governor after he was first elected in 2014. He decided not to seek a third term in 2022 and was announced as the NCAA’s president before leaving office. While in office, Baker had high approval ratings, sometimes polling as the country’s most popular governor.
