On behalf of the Honorary Degree Committee, Dr. Bayyinah S. Jeffries is requesting suggestions from the university community for candidates to receive honorary degrees from Ohio University.
Recognition with an Honorary Degree is understood to be a substantial honor.
“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.” says the honorary degree committee web page.
Additional details about Honorary Degrees and the process of evaluation, as well as a nomination form, are provided at the web page.
The deadline for submissions is Friday, Feb. 28, 2020. For more information or questions about a nomination, feel free to contact Jeffries, the chair of the committee at jeffrieb@ohio.edu.
