The resolution, sponsored by Rep. Ryan Williams, recognized Wilmore鈥檚 extensive involvement

The resolution passed unanimously in both chambers and was signed by Gov. Bill Lee

2010 and accepting an honorary doctorate from Tech in 2012 鈥� he gained international
acclaim over the last year as part of the inaugural manned voyage of the Boeing Starliner.
Technical challenges with the spacecraft led to a more-than-nine month stay at the
International Space Station before Wilmore and fellow astronaut Suni Williams returned
to Earth aboard a SpaceX capsule on March 18.
During his extended mission, Wilmore participated in two video calls with the Tech
community: one on June 11 with the children of Tech faculty and staff and one on Nov. 5 with current Tech students.
Upon Wilmore鈥檚 return, President Oldham praised his strength and dedication, saying, 鈥淗is faith sustained him through unexpected challenges and brought him to this moment.
He has made all of us at his alma mater enormously proud.鈥�
The university is planning multiple events to celebrate Wilmore in the coming months,
including during the Board of Trustees meeting on June 26 鈥� Wilmore鈥檚 first since
returning from his historic mission. Additional details will be shared ahead of the
event.
