The deadline for Honorary Degree nominations has been extended to Friday, Oct. 29.
The Honorary Degree Committee, a subcommittee of the Senate Graduate Committee, is charged with the solicitation of nominations for honorary degree recipients. On behalf of the Committee, the Office of the Secretary is requesting nominations for honorary degrees to be presented at the May 2005 Commencement ceremony.
Nominators are requested to submit a letter stating in sufficient detail their reasons for the nominations. Biographical material should accompany the letters.
In order that the Committee may have time for its screening of nominations, the nominations should be sent to the Office of the Secretary, Scholes Hall, Room 101, no later than Friday, Oct. 29, 2004.
If a nominee is proposed by a person, department, or college representing a discipline other than that of the nominee (e.g., Music nominates a poet), the Committee will consult with the appropriate faculty before making a recommendation.
The Honorary Degree policy is available at: Honorary Degree policy.
Past recipients are listed at: Past Recipients.
