Alumni are invited to campus to hear U.S. Navy Secretary Ray Mabus, former governor of Mississippi, give a public lecture at 1 p.m. Dec. 18 in the University Union Lyceum.
He will then give the commencement address at the doctoral ceremony at 7 p.m. that day in the Murchison Performing Arts Center. Michael Monticino, dean of UNT’s Toulouse School of Graduate Studies, says Mabus is an excellent role model for students and a staunch supporter of education.
UNT regularly hosts diverse speakers such as Big Coal author Jeff Goodell, former Mexican President Vicente Fox and former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.
