Watch Zena Cardman’s Commencement speech

NASA astronaut and double Tar Heel Zena Cardman ’10 ’14 (MS) is heading to space in August, but she said delivering Carolina’s Spring Commencement address was “the most terrifying thing” she’ll do this year.

Cardman told graduates at the nighttime ceremony that it’s OK if they don’t know where their journey is heading, and the definition of success is entirely up to them.
