Ten years after becoming famous for landing a commercial airliner on the Hudson River, Captain "Sully" Sullenberger will Sunday speak at Purdue University. The Purdue alumnus’ talk is part of the university’s Giant Leaps Series.

Sullenberger earned his master’s degree in industrial psychology from Purdue. He received the university’s Neil A. Armstrong Medal of Excellence in 2010, as well as the Distinguished Alumnus Award from the College of Liberal Arts.
