Information

The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine Alumnus, NASA Astronaut Dr. Rick Linnehan (DVM 1985), will discuss his four shuttle missions and six spacewalks on Monday, February 20 at noon in the Veterinary Medical Center Auditorium. Dr. Linnehan conducted three of his six spacewalks during his final shuttle flight STS-123 aboard Endeavour. This mission achieved special notoriety for Ohio State when Dr. Linnehan flew the "first bowtie in space" - a scarlet and gray bowtie owned by President E. Gordon Gee. Please email Dr. Harcha at harcha [dot] 2 [at] osu [dot] edu with any questions.

Lunch will not be provided.
