Astronaut to speak at graduation

by

The UA will continue the trend of a space-themed year by having astronaut Frank Borman speak at this year's commencement ceremonies.

Borman was the commander of Apollo 8, the first mission to fly around the moon.

UA President Robert Shelton selected Borman to speak, said Edith Auslander, vice president and senior associate to the president.
