Shirley Weis, the first woman and nonphysician to serve as chief administrative officer of Mayo Clinic, will also be at the convocation.

Clifton Haley, former president of MSU College of Law and former CEO of Budget Rent-a-Car Corp., will receive an honorary doctorate of laws at the convocation. 

Norman Augustine, retired CEO and chairman of aeronautics company Lockheed Martin Corp., will address advanced degree candidates at 3:30 p.m., also at the Breslin Center.

“As Spartans, we work every day to make a difference around the world, so it’s fitting that Azim Premji, an international business executive, will address our graduates as they prepare to be global citizens,” MSU President Lou Anna K. Simon said in a statement. “In addition, we’re privileged to have Norman Augustine, former acting secretary of the U.S. Army and a defense industry leader, on campus to share his leadership experiences. We’re proud to honor Shirley Weis for her innovative leadership and Clif Haley for the important role he played in the development of the MSU College of Law.”
