Astronaut Jerry Linenger delivered the keynote address last night during Wayne State University’s graduation ceremony at Ford Field. Linenger is an alumnus of Wayne State’s medical school and a winner of the Distinguished Service Medal – the highest honor given by NASA. Linenger says he hopes his experiences in space inspire students. “One of the mottos of Wayne State is to aim higher. And I think my occupation – you know I went beyond the sky, if you will, into space – and commencement is a launch time.” He adds that emphasizing advanced degrees in math and science is crucial to America’s ability to compete globally.
