 *Media availability with astronaut Mark Kelly. Kelly, the keynote speaker for Ohio State’s celebration dinner and commander of the space shuttle Endeavour’s final mission, will be available to talk to reporters from 5:25 to 5:50 p.m. in the Student-Alumni Council Room (2nd floor, facing the Oval). President Gee will be introducing Kelly and also is available to reporters at this time. Unfortunately, due to the short time frame, we are unable to offer one-on-one interviews with Kelly.
