Distinguished Lecture: Astronaut Scott Kelly

Retired NASA astronaut Capt. Scott Kelly will present The Sky is Not the Limit: Lessons From a Year in Space as Trinity University’s Fall 2016 Distinguished Lecture. An astronaut since 1996, Kelly’s historic mission from March 2015 to March 2016 required him to conduct experiments and reconfigure station modules cooperatively with Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko. He will share life lessons and personal stories that reveal unique and valuable advice on pushing one’s own limits. He also will discuss insights on the leadership and teamwork required in demanding conditions and challenges, such as long term sequestration from loved ones.

His presentation will take place at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 15, in Laurie Auditorium on the Trinity campus. The event is free and open to the public and seating will be on a first-come, first-seated basis. No tickets are required. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m.
