On Saturday, May 11, almost 2,000 students will graduate Arkansas State University.  Bill Carter will deliver the commencement address.

Carter, who was inducted as one of ASU’s Distinguished Alumni in 2011, is described as a “legend in the music business world and one of the driving forces behind the restoration of the boyhood home in Dyess of the late singing great Johnny Cash.” He produced the first two Johnny Cash Music Festivals.

According to an email from ASU:
