Chair of the Honorary Degree Committee
On behalf of the Honorary Degree committee, I am requesting final suggestions for candidates to receive honorary degrees from Ohio University. Recognition with an Honorary Degree is understood to be a substantial honor. As stated on the Honorary Degree Committee page:
“Honorary Degrees are awarded annually to individuals who have achieved distinction in scholarship, creative activities, professional pursuits, business, governmental, civic affairs, or particularly in service to Ohio University. While candidates from any field will be considered, persons who have attained broad recognition in education rank high among potential nominees. Outstanding benefactors of the University or distinguished alumni are also among those to be given special attention.”
Additional details about Honorary Degrees and the process of evaluation, as well as a Honorary Degree Nomination Form are available on the website.
The deadline for submissions is Friday, Feb. 22, 2019. If you have questions about a nomination, feel free to me at jeffrieb@ohio.edu.
