The event is free and open to the public.

ASU President Dr. Quinton T. Ross, Jr.



said that Marshall Center director Todd May and NASA astronaut Tracy Dyson will speak at 1 p.m. at the University's Ralph D. Abernathy College of Education auditorium, and at the conclusion of their remarks, the space leaders will speak to the news media.

"ASU is honored to have such important aerospace leaders and space pioneers come to our campus to discuss the importance of exploring space, which has as its foundation the study of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) sciences," Ross said. "At Alabama State University, we value our STEM college and academic course offerings that encourage our students to aim for the stars."

Alabama Aerospace Week recognizes the myriad contributions that the aerospace industry makes to Alabama and to its residents.
