Honorary Degrees
On recommendation of the Honors and Awards Committee and the President, the Board of Trustees may vote to confer honorary degrees on distinguished individuals. The Board should award an honorary degree only in recognition of extraordinary and lasting distinction. The award should represent the highest intellectual and moral values; it should reflect the very character and quality of the University itself.
Nominations must be made using the standardized Honorary Degree Nomination form.
The window for submitting nominations for 2024 Commencement has closed. The window for submitting nominations for 2025 Commencement will open in summer 2024.
