	Lincoln, Neb., May 6, 2005 -- Approximately 2,100 students are scheduled to receive degrees from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in commencement exercises beginning at 9:30 a.m. May 7 at the Bob Devaney Sports Center.
	Chancellor Harvey Perlman will preside at the ceremonies. An honorary doctor of humane letters degree will be awarded to Douglas Bereuter, president of the Asia Foundation and former 26-year U.S. representative from Nebraska. Bereuter will also deliver the commencement address.
	The Nebraska Alumni Association will recognize Don Blank (D.D.S., 1960) of McCook and Lynne Morian Grasz (B.S., 1966) of New York City with Distinguished Service awards. The awards honor individuals with exemplary records of service to the Alumni Association and the university.

Gray first gained national attention at age 24, when he represented Rosa Parks, who refused to give up her seat to a white man on a Montgomery, Ala., city bus.
