KEYNOTE SPEAKER
Eric Jolly
Dr. Eric J. Jolly, president of
the Science Museum of
Minnesota and a champion
of equal access for
education, will speak about
the “Gift of Education.”
His job entails overseeing
a $31 million budget and
more than 500 employees
for a museum that attracts
1.2 million visitors annually to downtown St. Paul.
But his passions in life also include weaving Cherokee baskets
(part Cherokee, he also speaks the language fluently and works
closely with the Native American community), driving a
Zamboni, parachuting out of planes, and playing hockey.
He is a former vice president and senior scientist at the
Education Development Center in Newton, Mass., a not-forprofit,
research and development “think-tank.” And he is the
former assistant to the chancellor at the University of Nebraska.

A 30-year tradition at Saint Mary’s, the All-Stars

closing act in SMU’s Blue Angel variety show.
