This weekend’s Commencement celebrations will be a full-circle moment for Kizzmekia Corbett ’14 (Ph.D.) as she virtually comes home to the place her science career began and delivers the Commencement address that will send a new generation of Tar Heels out into the world. “I don’t even think I ever would have imagined ever giving a Commencement speech,” she said. “You can’t beat being honored in this way by a place that trained you and raised you in many ways. I’m a scientist because I started being a scientist at UNC.” Corbett will deliver her remarks virtually at all five ceremonies alongside Dr. Anthony Fauci. The researchers from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases are two of the leading experts on COVID-19 research and national response strategies.
